Description
En esta nueva aventura, Gideon Crew se enfrenta al caso más peligroso de su historia. «Esa cosa está creciendo de nuevo. Hay que destruirla. Y hay que hacerlo ya.» Hace cinco años Eli Glinn trató de recuperar un meteorito gigantesco de una isla remota en el cabo de Hornos, en la punta de Sudamérica. La misión acabó en desastre, pues su embarcación se hundió en una tormenta salvaje en aguas antárticas y arrastró el cargamento a las profundidades del océano. Perecieron más de cien tripulantes, y Eli Glinn quedó paralítico. El meteorito, sin embargo, no era una simple piedra. Ese organismo complejo llegado del espacio ha echado raíces en el fondo marino y está creciendo. O se destruye o el planeta está condenado. La única esperanza es que Glinn y su equipo lo aniquilen, tarea para la que requieren la experiencia de Gideon en armas nucleares. No obstante, pronto descubrirán que el «meteorito» tiene ideas propias y entre ellas no se halla quedarse tranquilo.ENGLISH DESCRPTION That thing is growing again. We must destroy it. The time to act is now... With these words begins Gideon Crew's latest, most dangerous, most high-stakes assignment yet. Failure will mean nothing short of the end of humankind on earth. Five years ago, the mysterious and inscrutable head of Effective Engineering Solutions, Eli Glinn, led a mission to recover a gigantic meteorite-the largest ever discovered-from a remote island off the coast of South America. The mission ended in disaster when their ship, the Rolvaag, foundered in a vicious storm in the Antarctic waters and broke apart, sinking-along with its unique cargo-to the ocean floor. One hundred and eight crew members perished, and Eli Glinn was left paralyzed. But this was not all. The tragedy revealed something truly terrifying: the meteorite they tried to retrieve was not, in fact, simply a rock. Instead, it was a complex organism from the deep reaches of space. Now, that organism has implanted itself in the sea bed two miles below the surface-and it is growing. If it is not destroyed, the planet will be doomed. There is only one hope: for Glinn and his team to annihilate it, a task which requires Gideon's expertise with nuclear weapons. But as Gideon and his colleagues soon discover, the "meteorite" has a mind of its own-and it has no intention of going quietly...
