“Primordial Threat: A Cosmic Race Against Time"
Journey into the near-future, where the relentless race to save our world unfolds in the pages of this gripping USA Today bestseller. NASA scientist Burt Radcliffe faces an impossible task as a cosmic cataclysm looms, earning praise from Hugo Award–winning author Robert J. Sawyer, who declares, "Who says hard science fiction is dead?"
In 2066, oblivious to the impending danger, humanity's fate rests upon the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe. As the head of NASA's Near Earth Object program, he has feverishly worked to complete DefenseNet, an advanced satellite system designed for early warnings and, in the direst of scenarios, to eliminate celestial threats.
But the grim reality becomes clear—the world is powerless against the imminent black hole hurtling towards Earth. A cosmic juggernaut, an inescapable force that spells certain doom for all it touches.
Enter Dave Holmes, a modern-day Einstein and the mastermind behind DefenseNet. Holmes vanished, leaving only cryptic traces of a solution to the Primordial Threat he foresaw. Can he be found, and can his solution be unlocked in time?
As the clock ticks, the world races against the cosmic clock. "Primordial Threat" is a heart-pounding epic of science, suspense, and humanity's indomitable will to defy the cosmos itself. With less than a year to spare, the ultimate question looms large—can Earth survive the fury of the cosmos, or will the world be lost to the depths of time?
