When astronomers discover a meteor composed entirely of gold hurtling toward Earth, the world goes mad. The celestial object is worth hundreds of billions of dollars—enough to destabilize global economies, enough to trigger wars, enough to make whoever claims it the wealthiest entity on the planet.
Dr. Sydney Hudelson and Dean T. Forsyth, previously friendly colleagues whose children are engaged to be married, both claim credit for discovering the meteor. Their professional rivalry escalates into bitter personal feud: they refuse to speak, sabotage each other's observations, publish competing predictions, and transform their dispute into vendetta that poisons their families and makes them objects of public ridicule.
Meanwhile, the global response spirals toward chaos. Stock markets crash as investors realize that flooding the market with unlimited gold will make existing holdings worthless. Nations assert territorial claims based on predictions of where the meteor will land, and diplomatic conflicts threaten military escalation. Entrepreneurs scheme to capture the treasure. Criminals plot elaborate thefts. And ordinary people watch in fascination and terror as unlimited wealth approaches, promising either universal prosperity or economic catastrophe.
From the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea—a satirical fable about greed and sudden wealth that resolves through technical salvation rather than human transformation.
