Book Description:

The story is set in 2040. In rural England, a 10 year old boy discovers something mysterious buried under the hill, close to his house. His parents and two sisters investigate, but the hill will not reveal its 4 million years old secret, and the boy's mother has a secret of her own. In Tasmania, a Canadian technician working at an Astronomical Observatory sees something which looks like a faint nebulous star, but where no star should rightly be. She seeks the help of a shy and reclusive colleague, but neither realize their investigations will take them to Java and back to Uluru, and then to places even more remote. In the region of space known as the Kuiper Belt, far out in the Solar System beyond the planet Neptune, something begins to move again that will endanger Earth. Unknown to everyone, even that danger is only part of the story. A story that reaches 65 million years into the past and to the strange events which took place in Krasnoyarsk Krai, in eastern Russia, in 1908. A story spanning three Continents and involving the US President, the Prime Minister's of the UK and Australia, the American CIA and paid mercenaries. A story of bravery, but occasional cowardice, of stupidity set against mind-blowing intelligence. But chiefly a story of how, even the youngest people with the right determination and the right help, can change the destiny of billions.

My review:

This book has a little of everything. There is mystery, science fiction, adventure and of course drama. As I read through the book, and it is a little too long for me, however it is the first three books in the series together in one volume, I found out that secrets are everywhere. They are from our past and in our future, I liked the astronomy and the star plot. I traveled all over Earth and all over the Solar System in this book. This book is only book one too. I can not wait to read where else this author wants to take us. I also liked that there were family conversations in this book. They were just a family and the son happens to find something. His action set a lot into motion. The ending leaving me wanting for me. What is awaiting these characters? This is the first three books of this series. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review through DGT, however all opinions are my own,
