    About this ebook

    What if the Tunguska impact of 1908, the "cosmic mystery of the millennium," was caused by a primordial black hole? What if that object — smaller than an atom, more massive than a mountain, older than the stars — has been orbiting inside the earth? What if only a rookie government agent and a clairvoyant consultant stand in the way of a Russian billionaire wielding that black hole to change history — or end it?

     

    "DeSmedt veers an action-packed thriller into perilous realms of black hole physics. The combination of adrenaline and intellect sizzles."

    — David Brin, New York Times bestselling author of The Postman

    "Singularity is a swift, gripping novel with a goose-pimple mix of scary science and near-future action. An excellent debut from Bill DeSmedt — and I'll be looking forward to his next one!"

    Greg Bear, Hugo and Nebula awarding winner author of Darwin's Children

    "Bill DeSmedt's Singularity is a three-bag homer of a book — a mind-bending techno-thriller set on the far edge of tomorrow, an East-West political thriller chilling enough to refreeze the Cold War, and an old fashioned page-turner, of the sort you can't decide whether to zip through, for the excitement, or to read slowly, to savor."

    — Anthony Olcott, author of Edgar-nominee Murder at the Red October and Silver Dagger nominee May Day in Magadan

    "I very much enjoyed Bill DeSmedt's Singularity. ... Bill got the vast majority of the physics right, which is highly unusual — especially in a book that is such a good read."

    — Kip Thorne, Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, California Institute of Technology and author of the national bestseller Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy
