Аннотация

Doctor Abigail Montgomery is a Professor at the University of Arizona. She, along with her team of brilliant grad students, is working to prove or disprove the hypothesis of a tenth planet.
During the project, an intriguing object is discovered. As they delve deeper, they are able to confirm that the mysterious object is an asteroid of near planet proportions heading toward our solar system. Traveling at over 32 kilometers per second and with a mass only slightly less than Neptune, it would be the end of the Earth if it impacted.
The race to determine its exact course is complicated by the wobble of the planetoid. Observatories from Arizona, Chili, and the Canary Islands work to determine the exact path. Rumors abound as the media picks up the story and ‘experts’ are on the air non-stop with their theories.
Abigail, along with other scientists, determines that the planetoid will not impact the Earth but they soon realize a threat just as great. It very likely will impact the Moon. The resulting collision would change life on Earth forever.
In a race against time, a radical new EMP emitter, still in the testing stages, is approved by the President. As the window of opportunity closes, all the world can do is wait and pray that it will work.

CLOSE PROXIMITY provides non-stop action that will make the reader consider what the world may face in the future and how fragile the Earth is in this vast universe.
If you like cataclysmic adventure books you will really enjoy this one.
