In this culmination of the Day Eight series, Trevor attempts to sever Ezra's mind from President Paxton. But with only eight days left until Ezra achieves a corrupt Intellectual Singularity, and with the US government occupying the world's power grid in a quickly degenerating situation, time is running out. Trevor must find a way to stop it all, and in the process make a sacrifice that will change his life forever. Part III of the Day Eight series concludes Trevor's thrilling adventure to prevent a disaster far worse than any ever conceived by humanity.
