Paperback. Condition: Fair. The year is 2066 and the world is oblivious to the threat it faces.The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program.He's been rushing the completion of DefenseNet, a ring of satellites that are both part of an early-warning system as well as the means to eliminate incoming threats.Yet Burt knows that despite the world's best efforts, nothing can be done about the alert he's just received.Coming out of deep space is a danger that's been approaching since the dawn of time. A black hole. An unstoppable threat that promises death for all in its wake. Dave Holmes was a modern-day Einstein. As the original architect of DefenseNet, he'd had visions of this Primordial Threat before he disappeared, yet he'd left behind no details on how the problem might be solved.Can Holmes be found, and if so, will his solution even work? The world has less than a year to find out. With Primordial Threat, Michael Rothman puts the OMG back in Science Fiction Fascinating characters, an Asimov-sized plot, and lots of intrigue. Michael Rothman delivers. Chilling Science Fiction from a new Arthur C. Clarke. Movie-ready SF from a new master - William C. Dietz, New York Times bestselling author Written by one who really knows the science, PRIMORDIAL THREAT zips along--a hard sf treat. - Gregory Benford, New York Times bestselling author of TIMESCAPE. Michael Rothman's PRIMORDIAL THREAT is a big disaster novel - maybe the biggest, with the end of the solar system in play. There goes the neighborhood Filled with innovative science and big-scale action, it shows humanity in crisis, and humanity at its best. - Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of BLOOD OF THE COSMOS It has been a long time since I've seen a novel with big mind-blowing hard SF ideas like this. It reminds me very much of Asimov, and that is very welcome indeed. - David Farland, New York Times Bestselling, Award-winning Author Who says hard science fiction is dead? The field is safe and sound in the hands of Michael Rothman. Real science from a real scientist -- and a thrilling page-turner, to boot. What more could one ask? - Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Quantum Night Michael A. Rothman's PRIMORDIAL THREAT is a beautifully-conceived hard science adventure, with totally believable characters and events, and a truly satisfying conclusion. - Mike Resnick, 4-time Hugo Award Winning author Michael A. Rothman's PRIMORDIAL THREAT leverages real technical expertise to find the human drama in a plausible near-future extinction scenario. This is gripping reading, one part Larry Niven and one part Michael Crichton - D.J. Butler, author of WITCHY EYE and THE KIDNAP PLOT The Primordial Threat is the Next Level in Extinction Event thrillers. Rothman deftly navigates actual science with a taut edge-of-your-seat tension that will scare you to death. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't already gaming Worst Case Scenarios for the White House. - Nick Cole, author of The Old Man and the Wasteland (Amazon #1 in SciFi) and Soda Pop Soldier (Publisher's Weekly Starred Review) M.A. Rothman has combined the high-frontier space realism of Kim Stanley Robinson, with the big ideas and cosmic scope of Larry Niven, and paced it all like a Michael Crichton adventure. A terrific roller coaster ride, which hits the reader on several levels. Highly recommended. - Brad R. Torgersen, Multi-award winning Hard S.F. author.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Marty Cohen was a gifted linguist and student of ancient military strategy who stepped away from academic Egyptology and opened a woodworking shop. Away from the bitter politics and petty rivalries, he?s happy to take care of his people, play the occasional war game, and try to make a good life.  He discovers mysterious visions rob him of sleep, and then he gets summoned back to Egypt: an off-the-grid dig funded by an eccentric financier has discovered texts that may be the earliest Egypt has produced, and they?ll pay Marty silly amounts of cash just to fly out and take one little look.  Marty turned his back on the academia game, but he?s a small business owner who has to make payroll during a recession, and he can?t say no to the money.  But the texts open doors to more visions and to an astonishing journey: the ragtag team of archaeologists finds itself in protohistoric North Africa, a drying land dominated by monsters, where humanity is badly in need of champions.  And behind the war against the monster overlords lies a greater struggle: Marty and his team have been chosen to be champions of all Earth and to run a gauntlet on humanity?s behalf.  Failure will mean extinction. Praise for Time Trials: ?This highly enjoyable novel by Rothman and Butler is full of nonstop action, bits of science, mystery, humor, and enough Ancient Egypt trivia to satisfy any history enthusiast. The quest narrative and the Dungeons & Dragons-style team structure recall familiar fantasy tropes, but the authors manage to develop the characters well, giving each of them their own distinct arcs and it results in a tale that?s well worth reading. The overarching mystery keeps the pages turning in an adventure tale that refreshingly shows respect for ancient civilizations and their accomplishments. An entertaining first entry in what promises to be a fantastic time-travel series.??Kirkus Praise for D.J. Butler: "I have come to appreciate the work of D. J. Butler;  He is a recent writer in a tradition of science fiction and fantasy I associate with Harry Turtledove, S. M. Stirling, Eric Flint, and Jerry Pournelle, with a sort of grittiness and focus on societal dynamics that I very much enjoy."?Warped Factor.…
