The Needle

From deep silent space far beyond the orbit of Pluto, an aeons old anomaly is found moving towards the Earth. A young college professor and her international team race to inform the world and work towards a solution to save the planet. From locales in the American Midwest, Hawaii, the high Chilean Andes, Europe, South Africa, and the corridors of power in Washington, Caswell Stewart and her young assistant Jax Munro work to save the world.
Is this looming catastrophe just a series of unfortunate coincidences or was it foretold more than two-thousand years ago in the legends of the San people of southern Africa? Using real science and real resources, the world awaits its fate. The traveller may be bringing cataclysm and chaos to many parts of the world and test the limits of our modern civilization, but the worst may be yet to come in ways that no one thought possible.
