<p>Venus has exploded.</p> <p>Showering Earth with radiation and bizarre particles that wipe out all the crops and half the life in the oceans.</p> <p>Suddenly, the ground itself begins melting into pools of dust that grow larger every day. For what has demolished Venus, and now threatens Earth itself, is part machine, part life-form – a nano-virus, dubbed Moonseed.</p> <p>Four scientists are all that stand between Moonseed and Earth’s extinction, four brilliant minds that must race to cut off the virus and save what’s left of the planet.</p>
