Shift is coming. So is the end of the world as we know it.

The battle over Shift — the electoral process that will decide the nation’s fate — is heating up ... while at the same time something is happening within the Beam network: a thing coming alive, its power unchecked and out of control.

Micah and Isaac Ryan, the brothers sitting at each political party’s head, have resorted to tooth-and-nail tactics to eke out as many votes as possible. The Beau Monde observes everything, sticking their fingers in the pie only to change the flavor to their personal tastes. Everyone else has one simple goal: surviving the battle.

Kai struggles with a job bigger than she’s ever faced, against a foe she can’t hope to outwit. Dominic, his law enforcement job precarious after betraying the drug runners he once smuggled for, must keep his head down even as he pokes his nose into the game of higher politics. And Nicolai, the unwitting harbinger of the Beam itself, concocts his own plots to overthrow the arrogant Ryans once and for all.

Yet all their efforts — great and small alike — will pale in comparison to the oncoming storm, the cataclysmic return of one of history’s greatest figures. Someone from the Beam’s very conception is about to appear anew, and with humanity interconnected like never before, their footsteps will rock the NAU like a meteor strike.

Shift is finally here. But even those who think they control its sway are not prepared for what happens next.

★★★★★ "Another wonderful season of The Beam, can't wait to see where else this awesome series goes! The characters and great, the plot always thickens, then more is revealed, then into the thick of it again. I read everything about this universe I can get my hands on because it is so close to reality that I can almost taste it." -- Daniel Drooger

★★★★★ "Absolutely loved this book. So many questions answered, and amazed at how much depth this story had. I was completely immersed in this whole series, and just... wanted... more." -- Amy

★★★★★ "Great characters, chilling subject, could not stop until I read all the books. When is Season 4 coming out?" -- diedrebird

★★★★★ "They did it again! I'm a huge fan of The Beam, though I have to admit I worried they wouldn't be able to pull off yet another top-notch season. I mean, this is a complex story, lots of moving parts, and everything is set in the future. How do their brains not explode?" -- Betsy Talbot

★★★★★ "I've been a fan of The Beam since the first season. The idea of The Switch and the two parties felt clever. And The Beam itself was a great mystery right from the beginning." -- Jarkko Laine
