When the stars go out …
The new sci-fi thriller from the pen of the bestselling author Phillip P. Peterson.
Physicist Susan Boyle monitors a neutrino telescope during winter in the Antarctic. She receives a strong signal from a nearby cluster of stars, but cannot make out anything unusual. Until gradually more and more stars disappear from the sky. The astronaut Colin Curtis is preparing for landing in the lunar orbit. But the maneouvre is aborted when an astronomer in his crew discovers an alien spacecraft, which is approaching our solar system at great speed. It sends a radio message to humanity, consisting entirely of physics formulas, before disappearing again. In time, it becomes clear to the scientists that something is approaching from deep space. Something so powerful that it will shake earth to its very foundations.
'This is the ultimate catastrophe thriller. And possibly also the most foolhardy rescue operation ever undertaken. Wonderful!'
