It starts with a series of unconnected atrocities: A family, throats cut, obscenities scrawled on the sides of their yacht in blood . . The corpse of a man frozen to death, his body shattered into tiny fragments like pieces of gory glass ...A landscape scorched and blackened, as if by an angry god . . An entire village, wiped out in moments by some violent, elemental force ...And gradually people start to see the connections: a man-made maelstrom is loose in the world, and it's getting bigger, and it's coming closer ...
