Synopsis

There is a huge, bold black streak in the sky. Branches appear out of nowhere over North America, Southern Europe, and Central Africa. People who live beneath The Rift can see it. But scientists worldwide are distressed—their equipment cannot pick up any type of signal from it. The rift appears to consist of nothing. Literally. Nothing. Nada. Niente. Most people are curious but not overly concerned. The phenomenon seems to pose no danger. It is just there.

Then something jolts the most hardened naysayers, and surpasses the worst nightmares of the world's greatest scientists—and rocks their understanding of the universe.

Tediosa como pocas, La grieta es el ejemplo perfecto de porque no leo ciencia-ficción más a menudo. Y es que pese a que la premisa es muy interesante, la atención del lector se dliluye rápidamente cuando descubre que el libro está plagado de escenas sinsentido, diálogos estúpidos, personajes nefasto......more
