Dark Arrival - Hardcover

by John Berry (Author)

Finish the errands. Unplug the phone. Turn off the TV and most of the lights and prepare yourself for a science thriller that's two parts Crichton, one part King-and impossible to put down...

John Berry taps into years of research as an amateur astronomer to spin a gripping tale of worldwide disaster created when a cloud of dark matter-a mysterious and powerful relic from the Big Bang-collides with modern day planet Earth. Growing up in rural Ohio, the author spent countless hours under dark skies studying the heavens. He is a prize-winning astrophotographer and an active member of The Planetary Society, an organization founded by the late Dr. Carl Sagan. His avid interest in the field of cosmology helped support the scientific basis for this chilling glimpse at doomsday. Imaginatively written, well-researched, and breathtaking in scope, Dark Arrival delivers the goods in what readers are calling "a shockingly believable chain of events that could easily happen tomorrow." Pray that they don't.
