Product Description
In a world of starquakes, anti-matter, red giants
and white dwarfs, a star more massive than
our own sun can disappear into a black hole from
which not even light can escape.
When this happens, the laws of physics
have no meaning.
Here is one of the great detective stories of modern
science, followed to its conclusion
by one of the most respected scientists writing
today. It is a totally absorbing investigation
of a phenomenon,only
recently discovered, that may explain the mysterious
30-megaton blast that flattened a
Siberian forest in 1908- and that may,
ultimately, be responsible
for the collapse of the present universe.
"Cosmic drama"-Publishers Weekly
"A Renaissance man born out of his time, Asimov's
the greatest explainer of the age." - Carl Sagan
