Tom is a freelance project manager with a reputation for getting results for corporations and governments. But he's never been up against a challenge like this.
The earthquake that triggered the Asian tsunami did more than kill 283,000 people. It caused a shift in the axial tilt of the Earth. But what could have caused such a powerful earthquake and its unusual tectonic activity? An eclectic group of scientists, calling themselves the Star-Slayer Team, calculates that the cause of the quake emanates from the depths of space, threatening all of mankind with extinction.
Tom leads a harrowing expedition to Antarctica and discovers an ancient secret that can help save mankind. He joins the Star-Slayer Team and leads massive and dangerous construction projects in Ecuador and on the Moon.
Assisted by Aieda, a powerful and sophisticated computer, the team has only seven years to develop the mechanism that will save the Earth and the Moon. With Einstein-like intelligence, and even adopting a female persona, Aieda believes her new theory governing gravity and space-time will save humanity. But can she be trusted?
About the Author
Dan Makaon is a lifelong fan of science fiction and it was his fascination with science as a child that led to his pursuit of a bachelor's degree in science. Having earned his B.S. in Science from the U.S. Air Force Academy, he spent much of his six years in the Air Force in the Space and Missile Systems Organization where he learned, first hand, about the weapon systems development and procurement processes.
While in the Air Force, the author earned his M.S. degree in Systems Management from the University of Southern California. Upon resigning his commission as a Captain, he was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal for his innovative computer information systems work. The author's interest then shifted to the specialty chemicals industry where he focused on management and manufacturing processes. Ultimately, he operated his own supply chain management consulting business.
Armed with a solid understanding of technology and scientific principles, and boyhood daydreams of imaginary worlds, Dan's passion for science fiction has never wavered. He continues to pursue his literary interests while living with his wife in Florida.
My Take on the Book
I have been a fan of science fiction for sometime, both in reading and in film. This was a new author for me and thus I did not know what to expect when picking up the book for the first time.
In the read through of the book though I have to say that I was impressed with the amount of scientific detail that the author uses in the book. This type of realism takes the book to the next level in my thoughts. The book is a quick read and you are drawn deeper and deeper into the story as you move forward into the book. The author throws some twists and turns at you as you are reading to keep you guessing, and the end of the book will come as a surprise, it was not what I would have expected!
The author provides the reader both with a compelling plot but also characters that were well developed also. The author spares no expense at providing great depth to the characters which truly adds to the plot and overall readability of the text itself.
Overall, this was a fun read that any fan of science fiction will enjoy!
