Our continued existence was never a given. We’ve always wanted to know our destiny. But when the end seems in sight, how will the world react? An alien artefact plucked from Earth’s orbit throws the world into chaos with both warning and a promise. For the prophet who dreams of new world order, survival means putting an end to democracy. For the movie mogul with a talent for spinning facts, the public doesn’t know what’s best for them. And for the reporter determined to discover the truth, the world needs to know what’s at stake. All are determined to hold off Armageddon. All will play their part in what’s to come. Both brilliant and terrifying, David Brin’s novel of the near future is a tour de force of storytelling. It is the work of a modern master of science fiction.
