Meteors that fall to earth can be hugely valuable. So what better way to get rich quick than by finding your own meteorite and selling it piece-by-piece to eager collectors? This is what Stoner and his friends plan to do when they learn that a meteor crashed into a remote valley several years ago. However, the valley is the site of a new reservoir and will be flooded in a matter of days. The meteor hunters face a race against time. Not only is the rising flood engulfing roads and ghostly, abandoned villages, and threatening the safety of the meteor hunters, but that cold slab of extra-terrestrial stone harbours a force of pure evil... A force, which entered the rock in the eternal, dark midnight of the cosmos, has the power to possess minds, take lives and wreak chaos. And Stoner and his team are plunged into a fight for their lives. In this dramatic and terrifying novella by the award-winning author, Simon Clark, the hunt for a valuable piece of stone from the sky becomes a desperate battle for survival.
