'Wailing Asteroid' Summary
A team of Earth explorers lands on a seemingly lifeless asteroid, only to find themselves in the midst of a colossal, abandoned fortress. The intricate network of tunnels and chambers suggests an advanced civilization, yet the fortress is eerily devoid of life. As they delve deeper, they uncover a powerful transmitter sending a coded message into the cosmos. Analyzing the signal, they realize the message is a dire warning: a colossal alien force is hurtling toward Earth, capable of annihilating our planet without even acknowledging its existence. They are left to grapple with the overwhelming knowledge of their imminent doom, confronting the terrifying reality of a universe where they are insignificant specks on the path of an uncaring cosmic force.Book Details
