Welcome to the World of x0

Somewhere between the world one knows exists and fanciful pretend places is the universe of x0.  Here, seven billion people lead normal lives and seven hundred or so don't.  This latter group includes Lola, a Texan geophysicist who doesn't believe in nonsense, and Somadina, a young Nigerian who thinks her abilities are perfectly normal. These women have at least two important things in common, and that much can forge a powerful link.

When Somadina's sister becomes a captive, the young Igbo woman draws upon her power to find an ally.  Too bad it turns out to be only this distant American woman who insists on ignoring her.

When an unexpected lay-off and a near fatal accident combine to reintroduce into Lola's mind a rather disturbing phenomenon, Lola tries ignoring it. Medicating it. Analyzing it. Sipping wine on her porch and planting more flowers. However, it keeps getting worse.

While the rest of the world lives out a perfectly normal 2009, Somadina accepts that her sister has become a strategic pawn in a much larger and more dangerous game and that she must get the attention of this kindred, uncooperative lady.

x0 reluctantly emerges from the shadows, only because somebody really needs to step in here. Both women are far more powerful than they realize, and to make matters worse, a fringe fanatic may be on the verge of altering history.
