Synopsis

The year is 2066 and the world is oblivious to the threat it faces.

The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program. He's been rushing the completion of DefenseNet, a ring of satellites that are both part of an early-warning system as well as the means to eliminate incoming threats.

Yet Burt knows that despite the world's best efforts, nothing can be done about the alert he's just received. Coming out of deep space is a danger that's been approaching since the dawn of time. A black hole. An unstoppable threat that promises death for all in its wake.

Dave Holmes was a modern-day Einstein. As the original architect of DefenseNet, he'd had visions of this Primordial Threat before he disappeared, yet he'd left behind no details on how the problem might be solved. Can Holmes be found, and if so, will his solution even work?

The world has less than a year to find out.

We've all read stories with surprise endings. There's nothing new there. It's not like O. Henry was born last week. As a matter of fact, there are few things less surprising than a big plot twist at the end of a book or movie. It happens a lot. If it's done well it works, but it's been done to death......more

Goodreads review by Steve on August 07, 2018

It's the year 2066 and scientists have just discovered that Earth, and the whole solar system really, is about to be wiped out by an incoming black hole. There have been lots of books (and movies) about Earth being hit by comets or asteroids, but shooting missiles against a black hole is pointless.......more

Goodreads review by Victoria on June 11, 2019

A good example of “hard” sci-fi (be ready to deal with a lot of terminology), and an intriguing plot/idea. A very slow start, but fascinating development in the middle of the story. A mix of Politics, NASA & Religion in one place. Overall- interesting but difficult read for the ‘soft’ girls like me.......more
