Seattle’s midsummer sun goes dark—not in an eclipse, but beneath a creature with wings four miles across. Then the thunder begins, and it sounds like a cry. It is 1976, and a hot summer turns strange when an enormous alien animal drifts over America’s cities, frightened, bewildered, and apparently searching for something. The crowds flee; aircraft swarm; officials try to guide her away from the cities without making matters worse. Bill Green, a fighter pilot under strict orders not to attack, is among those sent to intercept her. But how do you protect a city from a creature that may be terrified—and what happens when fear moves faster than reason?
