A near-future thriller of a devastating alien invasion from the paleontologist who inspired Jurassic Park and the award-winning science fiction author. There were always those who disagreed with broadcasting signals into the deepest reaches of outer space, because our mere existence could be taken as a threat. They were right to be concerned . . . In the spring of 2076, just days short of America’s tricentennial celebrations, every inhabited surface in the solar system gets wiped out by a catastrophic storm of relativistic bombs, flaming swords that pierced the sky. The only two survivors left on Earth exist in a submersible that had been exploring the Titanic’s final resting place on the bottom of the North Atlantic. In space, only the settlers in small, asteroid-based colonies have gone unnoticed by the aliens—for now. But any sign of life, any call for help, might bring the Intruders straight to them. These far-flung survivors are now on their own, stalked by a ruthless, faceless enemy straight out of the nightmares of humanity’s greatest minds—those lone voices whose warnings went ignored. “[A] novel of such conceptual ferocity and scientific plausibility that it amounts to a reinvention of that old Wellsian staple, [alien invasion].” —The New York Times Book Review “Relentless . . . The ultimate disaster novel . . . A thought-experiment and warning.” —The Denver Post “A whirlwind of ideas . . . full of action and danger . . . Pellegrino and Zebrowski are working territory not too far removed from Arthur C. Clarke’s, and anywhere Clarke is popular, this book should be, too.” —Booklist

With space exploration programs at a near standstill, the United States decides to reignite its program by sending an entire nuclear family into space under the guise that the family will spend months living on the International Space Station. In reality, the US plans to send the family to a secret facility on the moon where they will be placed into a state of hibernation for three months and have information and training fed directly to their brains. If successful, the family’s mission would pave the way for the future of space exploration, travel, and even habitation. The MacMurchaid family, which consists of father Robert, mother Denise, and children Tony, Troy, Kris, and Nicole, is suddenly thrust into the spotlight when they are chosen for the mission of being the first family sent into space. Their training and their trip into space—as detailed in this book and supplemented with real-life historical space program tidbits—go smoothly. But soon after the family members are placed into hibernation on the moon, war breaks out on Earth, and the family is abandoned and presumed dead. The MacMurchaids awake over 455 years later, facing a new world and new challenges. Will the knowledge and training they were fed during hibernation allow them to overcome these challenges? Read and find out.
