Synopsis

Twelve years ago, NASA researcher Peter Abbott disappeared while on a mission to study a meteor that had crashed on an uncharted island in the South Pacific.

His wife, Claire Hamilton, a scientist herself, picked up the pieces of her broken life and started over. Now a professor of astrobiology at the University of Washington, Claire has remarried and is raising six-year-old twins with her husband, Jack.

But her idyllic life is shattered once again when NASA shows up at Claire's door with incredible news—Peter is alive, and they want her to join a mission to rescue him from the island. And the most stunning revelation—it wasn't a meteor that Peter had gone to study, as they had told her a dozen years ago, but an extraterrestrial artifact.

Torn between the love for her family and the prospect of being part of the most important discovery in human history, Claire struggles with the decision join the dangerous mission. Meanwhile, sinister forces begin aligning to prevent her from rescuing Peter or uncovering the mystery of the alien object.

And as the danger mounts, she will make a shocking discovery, one with the potential to alter the course of her life—and of mankind— forever.

Goodreads review by Matt on February 27, 2020

Sci-fi for me is at its best when it dives deepest into the characters' hearts and minds, when the inner journey is even more fascinating than the futuristic marvels that drive the plot. ANOMALY delivers on that score. It was impossible to put down, not just because of the questions that kick off th......more

So.. I began reading this book without knowing the story or having checked before the goodreads ratings. It was an interesting ride till the middle of the story but after that it was bad.
