Science Fiction
An inventive debut in the tradition of World War Z and
The
Martian, told in the cutting-edge cadences of interviews,
journal entries, transcripts, and news articles, Sleeping
Giants is a literary thriller fueled by a quest for
truth—and by a struggle for control of earthshaking
power. A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near her home in
Deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the earth.
She wakes up at the bottom of a square-shaped hole, its
walls glowing with intricate carvings. But the firemen
who
come to save her peer down upon something even stranger:
a
little girl in the palm of a giant metal hand. Seventeen years later, the mystery of the bizarre
artifact
remains unsolved—the object’s origins, architects, and
purpose unknown. Carbon dating defies belief; military
reports are redacted; theories are floated, then
rejected. But some can never stop searching for answers. Rose Franklin is now a highly trained physicist leading a
top-secret team to crack the hand’s code. And along with
her
colleagues, she is being interviewed by a nameless
interrogator whose power and purview are as enigmatic as
the
relic they seek. What’s clear is that Rose and her
compatriots are on the edge of unraveling history’s most
perplexing discovery—and finally figuring out what it
portends for humanity. But once the pieces of the puzzle
are
in place, will the result be an instrument of lasting
peace
or a weapon of mass destruction?
