Emergence


William Lee Gordon - 2014
    Our situation is far more perilous than we could have known. Can a few brilliant minds find a way out for Earth?

There’s only one survivor and the culture witnessing magic isn’t it. When modern day Earth suddenly finds itself on the losing end of that proposition a team of the world’s best scientists is put together to find a solution.
