In Portland, he saved a young boy from a drunk driver.
In Boston, he rescued a child from an underground explosion.
In Houston, he disarmed a man who was trying to shoot his own wife.
Reporter Holly Thorne was intrigued by this strange, quiet savior named Jim Ironheart.
She was even falling in love with him.
But what power compelled an ordinary man to save twelve lives in three months?
What visions haunted his dreams?
And why did he whisper in his sleep: There is an Enemy. It is coming. It'll kill us all . . .?

Even before the events in the supermarket, Jim Ironheart should have known trouble was coming.
During the night he dreamed of being pursued across a field by a flock of large blackbirds that shrieked around him in a turbulent flapping of wings and tore at him with hooked beaks as precision-honed as surgical scalpels.
When he woke and was unable to breathe, he shuffled onto the balcony in his pajama bottoms to get some fresh air.
But at nine-thirty in the morning, the temperature, already ninety degrees, only contributed to the sense of suffocation with which he had awakened.
