Publisher's Summary

On September 28th, a geologist working in Death Valley finds a mysterious new cinder cone in very well-mapped area. On October 1, the government of Australia announces the discovery of an enormous granite mountain. Like the cinder cone, it wasn't there six months ago.

Something is happening to planet Earth, and the truth is too terrifying to contemplate.

Took forever to get to the point

It was exciting and enjoyable at times but had too much build up /unnecessary details and side plots that felt meaningless. I was fatigued by the time the ending came

Some interesting ideas and problems are presented but not ever really explored or resolved

Moments of imagining the narrator reading a script
