Walking up at the bottom of a deep pit, she sees an emergency rescue team above her. The people looking down see something far stranger . . . That girl grows up to be Dr Rose Franklyn, a brilliant scientist and the leading world expert on what she discovered. An enormous, ornate hand made of an exceptionally rare metal, which predates all human civilization on the continent.

Solving the secret of where it came from - and how many more parts may be out there - could change life as we know it. But what if we were meant to find? And what happens when this vast, global puzzle is complete . . . ?"
