A loner living off past success, Tanya Bones is subjected to abuse and isolation in her quest to discover the mystery behind a giant alien sphere crushing its way across Texas: the Turtle known as "Big-T". Despite the odds, she still rises up against the ones who would keep her smothered beneath threats and intimidation, all to answer a call that only she can hear - the voice of Big-T itself!
A compelling novelette of an individual fighting to rise above the collapsing society around her from the creative mind of author Jakob Drud.
This story belongs to an older tradition of wonder-filled SF that's all about hope for the future. A refreshing break from too much dystopian stuff that's out there today.
