And along with her colleagues, she is being interviewed by a nameless interrogator whose power and purview are as enigmatic as the provenance of the relic. Rose Franklin is now a highly trained physicist leading a top secret team to crack the hand's code. But some can never stop searching for answers.
Its carbon dating defies belief military reports are redacted theories are floated, then rejected. Seventeen years later, the mystery of the bizarre artifact remains unsolved-its origins, architects, and purpose unknown. But the firemen who come to save her peer down upon something even stranger: a little girl in the palm of a giant metal hand. She wakes up at the bottom of a square hole, its walls glowing with intricate carvings. A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near her home in Deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the earth. That cliffhanger was pretty trippy, but it wasn’t enough of a draw for me to want to attempt book 2.A page-turning debut in the tradition of Michael Crichton, World War Z, and The Martian, Sleeping Giants is a thriller fueled by an earthshaking mystery-and a fight to control a gargantuan power.

That only Kara and some dude she’s banging can fly. Oh, and there are giant alien robot things. That girl has grit, and she’s pretty too! Kara kara kara. Can her team make it work? Do they even want to? What will the world look like when they finish?īasically though: Kara Resnick is so attractive and pretty and hot and other subjective things and wow she’s a great pilot. She’s drawn by the mystery of the hand, and 17 years later is the leader of a research team dedicated to compiling pieces of a giant alien robot/construct/thing/weapon. A little girl falls into a hole and onto a giant hand.
