Klappentext

A prequel to Dead Space, the novel focuses on the birth of Unitology. In this novel set centuries before the events of the main series, geophysicist Michael Altman investigates an alien artefact called The Black Marker. We have seen the future.

It all started deep beneath the Yucatan peninsula, where an archaeological discovery took us into a new age, bringing us face-to-face with our origins and destiny. Michael Altman had a theory that no one would hear. It cursed our world for centuries to come. This, at last, is his story.
