The Gone World

<b><b>"I promise you have never read a story like this."--Blake Crouch, </b><b><i>New York Times</i></b><b> bestselling author of </b><b><i>Dark Matter</i></b><br /><br /><b><i>Inception </i></b><b>meets </b><b><i>True Detective</i></b><b> in this science fiction thriller of spellbinding tension and staggering scope that follows a special agent into a savage murder case with grave implications for the fate of mankind</b>...</b><br /><br />Shannon Moss is part of a clandestine division within the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In western Pennsylvania, 1997, she is assigned to solve the murder of a Navy SEAL's family--and to locate his vanished teenage daughter. Though she can't share the information with conventional law enforcement, Moss discovers that the missing SEAL was an astronaut aboard the spaceship <i>U.S.S. Libra</i>--a ship assumed lost to the currents of Deep Time. Moss knows first-hand the mental trauma of time-travel and believes the SEAL's experience with the future has triggered this violence.<br /> <br />Determined to find the missing girl and driven by a troubling connection from her own past, Moss travels ahead in time to explore possible versions of the future, seeking evidence to crack the present-day case. To her horror, the future reveals that it's not only the fate of a family that hinges on her work, for what she witnesses rising over time's horizon and hurtling toward the present is the Terminus: the terrifying and cataclysmic end of humanity itself.<br /><br />Luminous and unsettling, <i>The Gone World</i> bristles with world-shattering ideas yet remains at its heart an intensely human story.
