Not hiding, not turned black, but gone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On September 28th, Edward Shaw finds an error in the geological records of Death Valley. A cinder cone was left off the map. Could it be new? Or, stranger yet, could it be artificial? The answer may be lying beside it—a dying Guest who brings devastating news for Edward and for Planet Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As more unexplained phenomena spring up around the globe—a granite mountain appearing in Australia, sounds emanating from the earth’s core, flashes of light among the asteroids—it becomes clear to some that the end is approaching, and there is nothing we can do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Forge of God\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning author Greg Bear describes the final days of the world on both a massive, scientific scale and in the everyday, emotional context of individual human lives.

And who gets left behind to experience the last moments of beauty and chaos on earth?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nominated for a Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1987 and for Hugo and Locus Awards in 1988, \u003ci\u003eThe Forge of God\u003c\/i\u003e is an engrossing read, breathtaking in its scope and in its detail.","brand":"Open Road Media Sci-Fi \u0026 Fantasy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126933962992,"sku":"9781497607200","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781497607200_p0.jpg?v=1763703001","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781497607200","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
