Avatar's Overture

From a lonely observatory in the North of England an astronomer watches a meteor unaccountably change course. Some time later, in the dead of night, fourteen "Portals" are delivered within large population centers. Accompanying this arrival are sporadic reports of alien beings. The portals instantly become the best kept secrets in history. From her boring job in Portland Oregon, ex-radio astronomer Mindy Patoy learns that the once harmless meteor is now on a course leading it straight towards Earth. She embarks on a desperate quest and will become embroiled in a conspiracy that rises to the highest level of government, and beyond. The portals are the only escape from a doomed world, who will survive? Who will be chosen?
