For years Alex Pullman and Professor Shaw have been looking beyond Pluto for what they believe to be a hidden planet. What Alex finds is even more astonishing. A ship called ‘The Ark’, and it is on course for Earth. The scientists aren't the only ones involved. General Arnold J. Bernstein III heads up the military and all the General sees is a threat. With the future of humanity on the line, military and scientific minds clash as they try to decide what to do. The ongoing ‘battle’ between Alex and Bernstein would take ‘The Ark’ on an epic and perilous journey through time and space.
