braced for annihilation - but the end doesn't come . . . Because it's not an asteroid . . .
it's a three-mile-tall alien figure that comes to earth outside Little Springs Nebraska.
Dubbed 'the giant' its body apparently pierced by a blade its arrival transforms this quiet
red-state farm town into a top-secret government research site and major metropolitan area
flooded with soldiers scientists government agents bureaucrats spies criminals conspiracy
theorists . . . and a killer. As the sheriff of Little Springs David Blunt thought he'd be
keeping the peace among the same people he'd known all his life not breaking up chanting
crowds of conspiracy theorists busting drugs gangs dealing with doomsday cults struggling to
control town hall meetings about immigrants and invaders and the construction of a mosque. Or
trying to catch a cunning and seemingly untraceable killer. As the brutal bizarre murders
strike ever closer to home Blunt - increasingly troubled by strange unsettling dreams of a
cosmos in chaos - throws himself into the hunt for a killer who seems somehow connected to the
Giant. With bodies piling up and tensions in Little Springs mounting he realizes that in
order to find the answers he needs he must first reconcile his traditional sense of things
with the town and the world he now lives in - before it's too late.
