HE MUST RACE TO FIND ANSWERS
BUT CAN HE ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS?

Julia Evans, billionaire owner of Event Horizon, is in trouble. For fifteen years she's powered England's economic renaissance, but this won't help her now. Her husband is missing, her rivals have acquired an incredible new technology . . . and then a single flower is delivered to her anonymously. It's a flower which turns out to possess non-terrestrial DNA.

Is it a cryptic alien message, or a poignant farewell token from her husband? One man can unravel its origins, but Greg Mandel won't be alone in this desperate search. And as Greg and Julia discover, being first in the race won't be enough - not when the Nano Flower starts to bloom . . .
