Forlagsbeskrivelse af Godfall af Van Jensen
SOMETHING ASTONISHING IS HEADING OUR WAY . . . 'A gripping blend of sci-fi mystery and small-town suspense . . . an unforgettable ride.' RON HOWARD, Academy Award-winning director 'I felt slapped awake by Godfall s brilliant conceit . . . thought-provoking, awe-inspiring, and visionary.' BENJAMIN PERCY, writer of Marvel's Wolverine 'Engrossing, genre bending . . . will have you staying up long past your bedtime.' KARIN SLAUGHTER A massive asteroid hurtles toward Earth and humanity is braced for annihilation but the end doesn t come . . . Because it's not an asteroid . . . it s a three-mile-tall alien figure that comes to earth outside Little Springs, Nebraska. Dubbed the giant , its body apparently pierced by a blade, its arrival transforms this quiet red-state farm town into a top-secret government research site and major metropolitan area, flooded with soldiers, scientists, government agents, bureaucrats, spies, criminals, conspiracy theorists . . . and a killer. As the sheriff of Little Springs, David Blunt thought he d be keeping the peace among the same people he d known all his life, not breaking up chanting crowds of conspiracy theorists, busting drugs gangs, dealing with doomsday cults, struggling to control town hall meetings about immigrants, and invaders and the construction of a mosque. Or trying to catch a cunning and seemingly untraceable killer. As the brutal, bizarre murders strike ever closer to home, Blunt increasingly troubled by strange, unsettling dreams of a cosmos in chaos throws himself into the hunt for a killer who seems somehow connected to the Giant. With bodies piling up and tensions in Little Springs mounting, he realizes that in order to find the answers he needs, he must first reconcile his traditional sense of things with the town, and the world, he now lives in before it s too late.
