The world's biggest supercollider-the Torus-locked in an Arizona mountain, was built to unlock the secrets of the very moment of creation: the Big Bang itself. Will the Torus divulge the mysteries of the creation of the universe? Or suck the earth into a mini black hole? Twelve scientists are sent to the remote mountain, and what they discover must be hidden from the world at all costs. Wyman Ford, ex-monk and CIA operative, is tapped to wrest from the team their secret, a secret that will either destroy the world... or save it.
