Author Bill Napier's first novel, NEMESIS, features a Scottish astronomer, Dr. Oliver Webb, who is racing against time to find an earth-crossing asteroid that has been deflected by a foreign power to strike and completely destroy North America. After one of Webb's colleagues dies in an unlikely accident, he discovers that the key to the asteroid's identity is cryptically concealed in a 17th century astronomical manuscript penned by a Catholic monk who was accused of heresy. A surprise ending highlights this action-packed thriller. If you like James Rollins' ICE HUNT or Matthew Reilly's CONTEST, then you'll like NEMESIS.
