Perhaps it wasn't from our time, perhaps it wasn't even from our
universe, but the arrival of the 300 kilometre long stone was the
answer to humanity's desperate plea to end the threat of nuclear war.
Inside the deep recesses of the stone lies Thistledown: the remnants of
a human society, versed in English, Russian and Chinese. The artifacts
of this familiar people foretell a great Death caused by the ravages of
war, but the government and scientists are unable to decide how to use
this knowledge. Deeper still within the stone is the Way. For some the
Way means salvation from death, for others it is a parallel world where
loved ones live again. But, unlike Thistledown, the Way is not entirely
dead, and the inhabitants hold the knowledge of a present war, over a
million miles away, using weapons far more deadly than any that mankind
has ever conceived.
