A page-turning debut in the tradition of Michael Crichton， "World War Z， "and" The Martian， " "Sleeping Giants" is a thriller fueled by an earthshaking mystery and a fight to control a gargantuan 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 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 its origins， architects， and purpose unknown. Its 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 provenance of the relic. What s clear is that Rose and her compatriots are on the edge of unraveling history s most perplexing discovery and figuring out what it portends for humanity. But once the pieces of the puzzle are in place， will the result prove to be an instrument of lasting peace or a weapon of mass destruction? Praise for "Sleeping Giants " Reminiscent of "The Martian "and" World War Z， Sleeping Giants" is a luminous conspiracy yarn that shoots for (and lands among) the stars. Pierce Brown， "New York Times "bestselling author of" Red Rising" As high-concept as it is， "Sleeping Giants" is a thriller through and through. . . . Not only is "Sleeping Giants" one of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory， it s a smart demonstration of how science fiction can honor its traditions and reverse-engineer them at the same time. NPR Neuvelweaves a complex tapestry with ancient machinery buried in the Earth， shadow governments， and geopolitical conflicts.
