In the gripping sequel to Sleeping Giants, Sylvain Neuvel's
innovative series about human-alien contact takes another giant step
forward.
"Sleeping Giants may have debuted his thrilling saga, but Waking
Gods proves that Neuvel's scope is more daring than readers could have
imagined."--Paste
As a child, Rose Franklin made an astonishing discovery: a giant
metallic hand, buried deep within the earth. As an adult, she's
dedicated her brilliant scientific career to solving the mystery that
began that fateful day: Why was a titanic robot of unknown origin buried
in pieces around the world? Years of investigation have produced
intriguing answers--and even more perplexing questions. But the truth is
closer than ever before when a second robot, more massive than the
first, materializes and lashes out with deadly force.
Now humankind faces a nightmare invasion scenario made real, as more
colossal machines touch down across the globe. But Rose and her team at
the Earth Defense Corps refuse to surrender. They can turn the tide if
they can unlock the last secrets of an advanced alien technology. The
greatest weapon humanity wields is knowledge in a do-or-die battle to
inherit the Earth . . . and maybe even the stars.
