Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

A page-turning debut in the tradition of Michael Crichton, World War Z, and The Martian, Sleeping Giants is a thriller fueled by an earthshaking mystery--and a fight to control a gargantuan powerRose is riding her new bike near her home in Deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the dirt. She wakes up at the bottom of a square hole with complex carvings on its walls, but the firefighters who come to save her see something even stranger: a tiny girl in the palm of a massive metal hand.The mysterious artifact's origins, creators, and purpose remain unknown seventeen years later. Its carbon dating defies belief; military files are censored; suggestions are floated, then dismissed.But, some people will never stop looking for solutions.Rose Franklin is now a highly trained physicist directing a top-secret team to decode the hand's code.
