A scientist at the National Propulsion Facility discovers an inexplicable source of gamma rays in the outer Solar System. He is found decapitated, the data missing.

High resolution NASA images reveal an unnatural feature hidden in the depths of a crater on Mars... and it appears to have been activated.

Ratings and reviews

This book was great from start to Finish. The last book i read took me 3 weeks because it was written so bad. This book had me sucked in from the first page, and finished in 3 days. Great story with even better writing, anyone who likes to think "what if" should read this.

Whew! I started Impact and raced through it, wanting to know what happened next. Believable science fiction is the best and Douglas Preston is a pro at mixing the unbelievable with human drama.

The creativity and wonder the book creates in your mind is amazing, and as you read the book it has a suspenseful reaction in every chapter, it makes you never want to stop reading? I loved it. Id read it over and over again if I actually owned the book..
