About This Book

A coastal narrator recounts a sudden astronomical catastrophe that darkens the sky and brings swift, lethal climatic change, while his elderly friend, a retired inventor who now prefers nature, emerges as the sole person able to confront the emergency. The story follows their immediate struggle as civilization, comfortable with automated industry and stunted scientific daring, confronts survival; episodes alternate tense survival scenes, speculative undersea discoveries and technology, and meditations on the erosion of curiosity and the need to rekindle inventive courage in the face of an inexplicable menace.
