In Antarctica, a scientific expedition drops anchor for a live news feed. As the CNN journalist begins her report, a massive, shimmering sphere of light suddenly appears in the sky, enveloping the ship in luminous white light before disappearing as mysteriously as it arrived - the entire event witnessed by an incredulous world audience. Mean while in a dusty bar in Egypt, a dozen men are lazily discussing the state of the world when the brilliant, glowing symbol on the television stops them cold. One man breaks out in a sweat, crosses himself repeatedly, and rushes out of the bar muttering the same phrase over and over again: It can't be." --Provided by the publisher  aAdult  xLauron, RodelloyGeneral EducationzFiction  aText in English  a Espionage Thrillers.  a Historical Thrillers.  2ddccBK  cLeslie [new]d09/29/25  c14482d14482  00102ddc4070aUCBL_MAINbUCBL_MAINcFICd2025-09-29oF K52s 2009p3UCBL000028597r2025-09-29w2025-09-29yFIC
