• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

I may intervene to help, though reluctantly, said the sphinx, or I may destroy them.

A team of academics arrive in Cairo to study the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx of Giza. Inside the pyramid, they find otherworldly tests of intelligence. Unbeknownst to them, an ancient god observes them from the sphinx. Secrets of Ancient Egypt are alive beneath modern Cairo.

Across space and time, Earth's development is monitored by ruling powers on distant galaxies. Aliens journey to Earth to investigate recent anomalies. All this, and methane still bubbles beneath the ocean's beds. Global heating approaches a point of no recovery.

A great reckoning approaches...

Is humanity ready?

James Thornton delivers a novel about the consequences of hurting our planet. It delves into ancient history, roams the universe, and melds science with the supernatural. A frightening, exciting read.

'Weaves quiet perception and poignant reflection on humans, animals, and landscape into a shimmering pattern of southern French light.' - Olafur Eliasson
