THE END OF THE WORLD NEWS
THE HUMAN RACE EXTINCT IN 200 YEARS
This is the Carter Prophecy and it is irrefutable, expressed in the universal language of numbers. But what if there is still a way to survive the catastrophe? When a coded message from the future turns up amid the cosmic background noise of the Big Bang, Ried Malenfant, NASA drop-out turned entrepreneur, diverts his entire space enterprise to find out what it means. The message gives the coordinates of the asteroid Cruithne, Earth's remote second moon - nobody knows how it got there. Soon Malenfant, his ex-wife Emma, a super-intelligent chils and a disturbed mathematical genius are on their way to Cruithne. What is discovered there is nothing less than a revelation: the secret reason for our existance visible at last beneath the rippled surface of Time's river. Can this knowledge save the human race?
