The 21st century was on the brink of nuclear confrontation when the 300 km long stone flashed out of nothingness and into Earth orbit. NASA, NATO and the UN sent explorers to the asteroid surface...and discover marvels and mysteries to deive researchers mad.

A human --English, Russian, and Chinese speaking civilization. Seven vast chambers containing forests, lakes, rivers, hanging cities...
And museums describing the Death; the catastrophic war that was about to occur; the horror and the long winter that would follow.
