“This is the start of a new beginning
. . . for us and for those left on the Earth.”

Astrophysicist Dr. Thomas Philbrick predicted the cataclysmic event that creates a shockwave, slows the Earth's core, and weakens the magnetic polar field. Solar winds destroy the atmosphere and destructive electromagnetic pulses wreak havoc, igniting electrical systems like red-hot toaster wires. Fires force everyone outside, exposing them to harmful radiation. 
Four groups survive: the Hopi in Oraibi; the scientists within NORAD; the marooned lunar base members; and random survivors who have been protected, by chance or design, in caverns and concrete structures.
After the cataclysm, a revitalized magnetic field with an altered frequency causes genetic aberrations. Telepathy enhances those who are genetically predisposed for self-discipline. But a reptilian-like behavior attaches to those prone to self-indulgence. Is this the new beginning that Dr. Philbrick foretold?
