The creator of 2001: A Space Odyssey teams up with renowned space scientist Gentry Lee to give readers a thrilling space adventure set on the edge of tomorrow.

This far-reaching, spine-tingling adventure stretches from the dawn of time to the distant future, from the edges of the universe to the vast depths of the sea. At the bottom of the ocean, an alien creature is dormant. But the time has come for it to awaken. And as it stirs, its power will be unleashed on the planet--and trigger the dawn of human extinction.
