[endif]--![endif]--[endif]-- Description:
A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near her home when she falls through the earth. The firemen who come to save her find a little girl in the palm of a giant metal hand.
Seventeen years later, Rose Franklin is a highly-trained physicist leading a top secret team to crack the hand’s code. And along with her colleagues, she is being interviewed by a nameless interrogator whose power and purview are as enigmatic as the provenance of the relic. What’s clear is that Rose and her compatriots are on the edge of unraveling history’s most perplexing discovery—and figuring out what it portends for humanity. But once the pieces of the puzzle are in place, will the result prove to be an instrument of lasting peace or a weapon of mass destruction?
“A remarkable debut . . . Reminiscent of Max Brooks’s World War Z, the story’s format effectively builds suspense.”
— Library Journal
This book explores how the discovery and the following revelations affect the world. It suggestions that humans are not alone in the universe and there far more intelligent and powerful beings in existence. Being fast-paced, it is an engaging read that is satisfying.
Rating: 3 / 5 stars
