As for you, be fruitful and increase in number.

When a rapist stalks the nation's capital, Detective Christina Randall tries to keep an astounding clue from going public: all the victims become pregnant.

The latest victim is teenager Daniella Connolly. Her mother, Margaret, is a doctor at CalPark Fertility Clinic. But Margaret can't fathom the bizarre conceptions, either. Isolated in a special hospital ward, they all come to term in just one week.

Multiply on the earth and increase upon it.

Randall learns the rapes are connected to a series of missing-person cases. When a young woman disappears near CalPark -- also home to a secretive research lab -- suspicion falls on Margaret.

But soon, the rapist returns to claim his progeny. He is not really a he -- but an "it." Worse, the children have appetites just like papa's. ...

From the author of The Organ Donor and Eyes Everywhere comes a new type of monster, one that could spell an end to our species.
