An outstanding white-knuckle ride that will keep you up all night...

Phenomenal new thriller from bestselling author, Douglas Preston; Impact follows seemingly disparate incidents and individuals following an unusual meteoric event in Maine, USA.

Ex-CIA man, Wyman Ford undertakes a recon mission in Cambodia that proves to be more than expected. Radioactive ‘gems’ are the least of the problem, it turns out.

Abbey, a college drop-out with a penchant for astrology is there when the meteor hits and single-handedly determines that it must have hit one of 5 small islands off the coast. Taking along her bosom buddy, Jackie, for the ride – the two girls find themselves embroiled in something much larger than they could ever have anticipated.

Brilliant technician, Mark Corso, receives a highly illegal package through the mail from his late boss and mentor; the contents of which not only pique his curiosity, but will lead him into the front line of a deadly cool killer.

What ensues is a frantic collision of multiple worlds that would otherwise never even register in each other’s orbit and the inevitable climatic charge towards a global apocalypse the likes of which this planet has never seen before.

Impact is a breathtakingly stunning thriller; crammed with conspiracy, espionage, a smattering of genocide and incredibly well researched astronomical theory. Preston delivers a truly spectacular display of skill; somehow blending mind-blowing science with high octane action without it dissolving into slushy whimsicality. I, for one, will never look up at the night’s sky in the same way again.
