This is one of the BEST books I have read in a LOOOONG time. I couldn't put it down - led to many a sleepless night! The premise is there is a black hole at the center of the earth that is found just about 30 years from now (2007). The earth's population is 10 billion and the ice caps are melting. Animal species have been saved in "arks" all over the globe (we hope they are saved anyway). Commentary on society and internalistic ideas is amazing and VERY good.

this book is written by an astrophysicist and takes many unexpected turns - especially the ending! A MUST READ for Sci-Fi Fans from the author who brought us The Postman and many others.
