<DIV><B>This doomsday masterpiece from the author of <I>Eon</I> and <I>Hull Zero Three</I> was a finalist for the Hugo and Nebula awards. </B><BR /><BR /> On July 26, Arthur Gordon learns that Europa, the sixth moon of Jupiter, has disappeared. Not hiding, not turned black, but gone.<BR /><BR /> On September 28th, Edward Shaw finds an error in the geological records of Death Valley. A cinder cone was left off the map. Could it be new? Or, stranger yet, could it be artificial? The answer may be lying beside it&mdash;a dying Guest who brings devastating news for Edward and for Planet Earth.<BR /><BR /> As more unexplained phenomena spring up around the globe&mdash;a granite mountain appearing in Australia, sounds emanating from the earth&rsquo;s core, flashes of light among the asteroids&mdash;it becomes clear to some that the end is approaching, and there is nothing we can do.<BR /><BR /> In <I>The Forge of God</I>, award-winning author Greg Bear describes the final days of the world on both a massive, scientific scale and in the everyday, emotional context of individual human lives. Facing the destruction of all they know, some people turn to God, others to their families, and a few turn to saviors promising escape from a planet being torn apart. Will they make it in time? And who gets left behind to experience the last moments of beauty and chaos on earth?<BR /><BR /> Nominated for the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards, <I>The Forge of God</I> is an engrossing read, breathtaking in its scope and in its detail.</DIV>
