Paperback. Condición: Fair. The year is 2066 and the world is oblivious to the threat it faces.The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program.He's been rushing the completion of DefenseNet, a ring of satellites that are both part of an early-warning system as well as the means to eliminate incoming threats.Yet Burt knows that despite the world's best efforts, nothing can be done about the alert he's just received.Coming out of deep space is a danger that's been approaching since the dawn of time. A black hole. An unstoppable threat that promises death for all in its wake. Dave Holmes was a modern-day Einstein. As the original architect of DefenseNet, he'd had visions of this Primordial Threat before he disappeared, yet he'd left behind no details on how the problem might be solved.Can Holmes be found, and if so, will his solution even work? 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.…

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
