Book description
But this new mode of transportation comes at a price and there are
risks. Saul Dumont knows this better than anyone. He’s still trying to
cope with the loss of the wormhole link to the Galileo system, which has
stranded him on Earth far from his wife and child for the past several
years.
Only weeks away from the link with Galileo finally being
re-established, he stumbles across a conspiracy to suppress the
discovery of a second, alien network of wormholes which lead billions of
years in the future. A covert expedition is sent to what is named Site
17 to investigate, but when an accident occurs and one of the
expedition, Mitchell Stone, disappears - they realise that they are
dealing with something far beyond their understanding.
When a second expedition travels via the wormholes to Earth in the near
future of 2245 they discover a devastated, lifeless solar system - all
except for one man, Mitchell Stone, recovered from an experimental
cryogenics facility in the ruins of a lunar city.
Stone may be the only surviving witness to the coming destruction of
the Earth. But why is he the only survivor - and once he’s brought back
to the present, is there any way he and Saul can prevent the destruction
that’s coming?
