<DIV><B>From the <I>New York Times</I>&ndash;bestselling author of <I>War Dogs</I>: A novel that &ldquo;may be the best constructed hard SF epic yet&rdquo; (<I>The Washington Post</I>).</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> In a supernova flash, the asteroid arrived and entered Earth&rsquo;s orbit. Three hundred kilometers in length, it is not solid rock but a series of hollowed-out chambers housing ancient, abandoned cities of human origin, a civilization named Thistledown. The people who lived there survived a nuclear holocaust that nearly rendered humanity extinct&mdash;more than a thousand years from now.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> To prevent this future from coming to pass, theoretical mathematician Patricia Vasquez must explore Thistledown and decipher its secret history. But what she discovers is an even greater mystery, a tunnel that exists beyond the physical dimensions of the asteroid. Called the Way, it leads to the home of humanity&rsquo;s descendants, and to a conflict greater than the impending war between Earth&rsquo;s superpowers over the fate of the asteroid, in &ldquo;the grandest work yet&rdquo; by Nebula Award&ndash;winning author Greg Bear (<I>Locus</I>).<BR /> &#160;</DIV>
