Almost all the details about this book do not resemble The Martian at all. The two books' stories, narrative styles, characters and overall tones are actually very different. Sleeping Giants is being compared to the bestseller and now successful Matt Damon film - The Martian - which is misleading, if not entirely inaccurate.

You have to understand that this flies in the face of everything we know about American civilizations. But once the pieces of the puzzle are in place, will the result be an instrument of lasting peace or a weapon of mass destruction? What's clear is that Rose and her compatriots are on the edge of unravelling history's most perplexing discovery-and finally figuring out what it portends for humanity. And along with her colleagues, she is being interviewed by a nameless interrogator whose power and purview are as enigmatic as the relic they seek. Rose Franklin is now a highly trained physicist leading a top-secret team to crack the hand's code.

Seventeen years later, the mystery of the bizarre artifact remains unsolved - the object's origins, architects, and purpose unknown.īut some can never stop searching for answers. But the firemen who come to save her peer down upon something even stranger: a little girl in the palm of a giant metal hand.

She wakes up at the bottom of a square-shaped hole, its walls glowing with intricate carvings. A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near home in Deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the earth.
