A Vision of Fire: Book 1 of The EarthEnd Saga

Iconic "X-Files" star Gillian Anderson and "New York Times" bestseller Jeff Rovin team up in this 'gripping' thriller ("Publisher Weekly") that follows a brilliant child psychologist on her quest to save her young patient - and the world.

The daughter of India's ambassador to the United Nations starts speaking in tongues and having violent visions. A young Haitian girl claws at her throat, apparently drowning on dry land. An Iranian boy suddenly sets himself on fire.

Called to treat Maanik, the ambassador's daughter, renowned child psychologist Caitlin O'Hara is sure the fits have something to do with the recent assassination attempt on her father - a shooting that has escalated nuclear tensions between India and Pakistan - but when teenagers around the world start having similar outbursts, Caitlin is forced to consider a more sinister force at work.

Caitlin must now race across the globe to identify the links connecting these bizarre incidents in order to save Maanik - whose very soul might be in peril - and perhaps the world.
