A bright light streaks across the Montana sky.
An object unlike anything found by man before.
A scientist seizes what he believes is the opportunity of a lifetime, but he and his colleagues are unprepared for the dangers that await them along their path of discovery.
The future of mankind does not look bright.
The novella is a prequel to Mine, and it tells the story of how the Reclaimer came to Earth and how it wound up at the facility in Colorado.
