<b>'Excellent, exactly how good science fiction should be- gripping story, beautifully told, while at the same time being scientifically well-informed.'</b> tweeted RICHARD DAWKINS.<br> <b><br> 'Reminiscent of vintage Arthur C. Clarke . . . has a chilling, nail-biting authenticity'</b> said JAMES LOVEGROVE in the <i>Financial Times.</i><br> <b><br> From renowned theoretical physicist, broadcaster and author Jim Al-Khalili, comes this thrilling debut novel drawing on cutting-edge science and set in a near-future full of dazzling technologies.</b><br> <br> 2041 and the world as we know it grinds to a halt. Our planet seems to be turning against itself - it would appear that the magnetic field, that protects life on Earth from deadly radiation from space, is failing . . .<br> <br> Desperate to quell the mass hysteria that would surely follow, world governments have concealed this rapidly emerging Armageddon. But a young Iranian hacktivist stumbles across the truth, and it becomes a race against time to reactivate the earth's core using beams of dark matter.<br> <br> As a small team of brave and brilliant scientists battle to find a way of transforming theory into practice, they face a fanatical group intent on pursuing their own endgame agenda- for they believe mankind to be a plague upon this earth and will do anything, commit any crime, to ensure that the project fails . . .<br> <br> <i>And so bring about humanity's end.</i>
