Darkness Falls is a frame novel, a story within a story.
Primarily, it tells the story of one man, Robert
Hendricks. We first meet him in 2179 onboard an alien star
ship approaching Earth. He is the lone human on the ship
and it will be the first time he sees his planet in over
150 years. He has been away so long, in fact, that
Hendricks has very little in the way of actual memories of
his home. The only thing he knows for sure is that his
feelings about going back are far from positive. This is a
problem for his extra–terrestrial hosts, the Gulran.
The Gulran have a growing interest in this sector of the
galaxy and Earth is vital to their plan. With Hendricks as
an ambassador the Gulrani High Arbitor, Gorak, thinks the
mission has a good chance of success. Without the human's
help, he's not so sure. In order to ensure a positive
outcome – but also to help his troubled friend – Gorak
hypnotizes Hendricks and, through his recollections,
travels back with him to the Earth of 2026. For Hendricks,
the end begins with a total blackout of North America. It
doesn't take long for him to learn that the line between
order and chaos is as thin as a stream of electrons
flowing down a copper wire.
