Primordial Threat: The Final Countdown
In "Primordial Threat," the future is now, and time is the enemy. This USA Today bestseller catapults you into an exhilarating race against the cosmos itself, where the survival of humanity hangs by a thread. Acclaimed by Hugo Award–winning author Robert J. Sawyer, this tale revives the heart of hard science fiction with its riveting narrative and impeccable scientific foundation.
The year is 2066, and the Earth stands on the brink of annihilation. NASA's brightest, Burt Radcliffe, leads the charge with DefenseNet, a cutting-edge defense system against cosmic dangers. Yet, as a black hole barrels towards us, it becomes dreadfully apparent: no measure, no defense, no human ingenuity seems enough to avert the impending doom.
The key to salvation lies with the enigmatic genius, Dave Holmes, whose sudden disappearance leaves behind a trail of mysteries and a glimmer of hope. Was Holmes able to devise a plan to save the world from the Primordial Threat he predicted?
"Primordial Threat" is a gripping saga that explores the depths of human resilience, intellect, and the relentless pursuit of survival against the vast, unyielding cosmos. With the doomsday clock ticking, Earth's fate rests in a desperate search for answers and a gamble against the astronomical odds.
Prepare to be thrust into a world where science is our sword, the universe our enemy, and the human spirit our unwavering beacon of hope. Can humanity outsmart the final frontier, or will our planet become a mere footnote in the cosmic ledger? The race is on, and the countdown to survival has begun.

A black hole. An unstoppable threat that promises death for all in its wake. Dave Holmes was a modern-day Einstein.

The world has less than a year to find out. With Primordial Threat, Michael Rothman puts the OMG back in Science Fiction Fascinating characters, an Asimov-sized plot, and lots of intrigue. Michael Rothman delivers. Chilling Science Fiction from a new Arthur C. Clarke. Movie-ready SF from a new master - William C. Dietz, New York Times bestselling author Written by one who really knows the science, PRIMORDIAL THREAT zips along--a hard sf treat. - Gregory Benford, New York Times bestselling author of TIMESCAPE. Michael Rothman's PRIMORDIAL THREAT is a big disaster novel - maybe the biggest, with the end of the solar system in play. There goes the neighborhood Filled with innovative science and big-scale action, it shows humanity in crisis, and humanity at its best. - Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of BLOOD OF THE COSMOS It has been a long time since I've seen a novel with big mind-blowing hard SF ideas like this. It reminds me very much of Asimov, and that is very welcome indeed. - David Farland, New York Times Bestselling, Award-winning Author Who says hard science fiction is dead? The field is safe and sound in the hands of Michael Rothman. Real science from a real scientist -- and a thrilling page-turner, to boot. What more could one ask? - Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Quantum Night Michael A. Rothman's PRIMORDIAL THREAT is a beautifully-conceived hard science adventure, with totally believable characters and events, and a truly satisfying conclusion. - Mike Resnick, 4-time Hugo Award Winning author Michael A. Rothman's PRIMORDIAL THREAT leverages real technical expertise to find the human drama in a plausible near-future extinction scenario. This is gripping reading, one part Larry Niven and one part Michael Crichton - D.J. Butler, author of WITCHY EYE and THE KIDNAP PLOT The Primordial Threat is the Next Level in Extinction Event thrillers. Rothman deftly navigates actual science with a taut edge-of-your-seat tension that will scare you to death. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't already gaming Worst Case Scenarios for the White House. - Nick Cole, author of The Old Man and the Wasteland (Amazon #1 in SciFi) and Soda Pop Soldier (Publisher's Weekly Starred Review) M.A. Rothman has combined the high-frontier space realism of Kim Stanley Robinson, with the big ideas and cosmic scope of Larry Niven, and paced it all like a Michael Crichton adventure. A terrific roller coaster ride, which hits the reader on several levels. Highly recommended. - Brad R. Torgersen, Multi-award winning Hard S.F. author. Nº de ref. del artículo: 00106574862
