This novel begins on June 26th with the disappearance of one of the moons of Jupiter. On September 28th, a geologist working in Death Valley finds a mysterious new cinder cone in very well-mapped area. On October 1st, the government of Australia announces the discovery of an enormous granite mountain. Like the cinder cone, it wasn't there six months ago. Something is happening to Planet Earth, and the truth is too terrifying to consider. With this vast, unsettling, well-written yarn, Bear offers "one of the most striking novels in modern science ficition" (Locus).
