This is the Carter Prophecy and it is irrefutable, expressed in the universal language of numbers. But what if there is still a way to survive the catastrophe?

When a coded message from the future turns up amid the cosmic background noise of the big bang, Reid Malenfant, NASA drop-out turned entrepreneur, diverts his entire space enterprise to find out what it means. The message gives the coordinates of the asteroid Cruithne, Earth's remote second moon - nobody knows how it got there.

Soon, Malenfant, his ex-wife Emma, a super-intelligent child and a disturbed mathematical genius are on their way to Curithne. What is discovered there is nothing less than a revelation: the secret reason for our existence visible at last beneath the rippled surface of Time's river. Can this knowledge save the human race?

Yay!

Nothin's better than getting home from work and discovering a book in the mail! It's an instant pick-me-up.

Unfortunately, my Mt. TBR is out of controll, so it may be a while before I get a chance to read this one. I'll try not to let it linger on the shelf too long. 

Journal Entry 4 by colebear from Jacksonville, Florida USA on Sunday, January 29, 2006

6 out of 10

I read this as part of the 5 Books, 5 Countries, 5 Continents. reading challenge. It satisfies one of my 'Europe' books.

Time was a fascinating read. I did have some minor problems following parts of the 'hard' science and the descriptions, many of which took several pages to explain how to make a black hole, for example, were a little exhausting. Also, the reactions people had to the 'Carter Prophesy' reminded me of Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clark.

Overall, I enjoyed the inventiveness of the story but, I won't rush out to pick up more books by this author.
