ABOUT THIS BOOK

At a street intersection in California, everything visible—cars, buildings, farms, people, pavements—
suddenly starts vanishing during a flash of bright multicoloured light without a sound, leaving a
vastly deep black hole, as though cut through with a knife. The only human alive who can save the
planet from this destruction is a poor little newspaper boy, Charley, who was taken under tutelage
of Dr Robold. He was found by the doctor playing with a ‘burning glass’ on an oppressively hot
day. Charley’s scientific curiosity brings him upon the name young Archimedes.
Navigate through the unimagined world of mass devastation and follow Charley on his journey of
saving the Earth.
