Ten Million Years to Friday
It began with the sound of a beating heart … four thousand feet below the surface of the earth.
Something was living down there, in a strange void that refused to respond to science’s probings: an impossible life living in an impossible place.
An impossible life that had known birth in a time before Earth’s fiery surfaces had cooled!
And now that life was awakening, stirring under the probe of men who were unable to refrain from questioning the unexplained … stirring, and preparing to come forth from its ages-old resting place. Men wanted to believe that the creature would be friendly … but it came from a world that existed before men were created.
How could it find kinship with such totally strange creatures … and would it even be able to recognize that men were intelligent, rational beings?
