Artifact

Artifact A small cube of black rock has been unearthed in a 3500-year-old Mycenaean tomb. An incomprehensible object in an impossible place; its age,its purpose, and its origins are unknown. Its discovery has unleashed a global storm of intrigue, theft andespionage, and is pushing nations to the brink of war. Its substance has scientists baffled. And the miracle it contains does not belong on this Earth. It is mystery and madness -- an enigma with no equal in recordedhistory. It is mankind's greatest discovery ... and worst nightmare. It may have already obliterated a world. Ours is next.A small cube of black rock has been unearthed in a 3500-year-old Mycenaen tomb.

  • "Die Büchse der Pandora Die amerikanische Archäologin Claire Anderson entdeckt auf dem Peloponnes in einem Grab einen seltsamen Kalksteinblock, in dem rätselhafte Lichterscheinungen zu beobachten sind. Es gelingt ihr, das Fundstück nach Boston zu bringen, wo es gründlich untersucht werden soll. Man stellt in seinem Umkreis Schwerkraftanomalien fest und registriert starke radioaktive Strahlung. Als sie den Block anbohren, stossen die Wissenschaftler auf ein Vakuum, das unersättlich Luft ansaugt. Ist man auf eine Singularität gestossen, die nun unerbittlich wächst? Könnte der Stein mit der Katastrophe von Santorin in Verbindung stehen, die einst die mykenische Kultur auslöschte? Doch es ist ganz anders, als die Forscher zunächst glauben ... Gregory Benford, 1941 in Alabama geboren, studierte Theoretische Physik in Deutschland und Kalifornien, bevor er 1965 seine erste SF-Kurzgeschichte veröffentlichte. Mit dem 1980 erschienen Roman 'Zeitschaft', der mittlerweile zu den grossen Klassikern der Science Fiction gezählt wird, gewann er den Nebula Award. Mit 'Cosm' (1998) sowie dem sechsbändigen 'Contact'-Zyklus (1977-1995) hat er der naturwissenschaftlich orientierten Hard-SF einen neuen Stellenwert verschafft. Er lehrt und forscht als Physikprofessor an der University of California-Irvine."
