After an accident in a brilliant young physicist's most ambitious experiment,it appears: a wondrous sphere the size of a basketball, made of nothing known to science.
Before long it will be clear that this object has opened a vista on an entirely different universe, a newborn cosmos whose existence will rock this world and test one woman to the limit: the physicist who has ignited this thrilling adventure herself!
The forces of academia, government, theology and the mass media battle for control of a mysterious new reality. Profound questions are raised about Creation, human destiny and the riddle of godhood...questions that push at the very frontier of mankind's understanding.
