A page-turning debut in the tradition of Michael Crichton, World War Z, and The Martian, Sleeping Giants is a thriller fueled by an earthshaking mystery--and a fight to control a gargantuan power.

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

Seventeen years later, the mystery of the bizarre artifact remains unsolved--its origins, architects, and purpose unknown. Its carbon dating defies belief; military reports are redacted; theories are floated, then rejected.

But some can never stop searching for answers.

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

Praise for Sleeping Giants

"As high-concept as it is, Sleeping Giants is a thriller through and through. . . . One of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory, and] a smart demonstration of how science fiction can honor its traditions and reverse-engineer them at the same time."--NPR

"Neuvel weaves a complex tapestry with ancient machinery buried in the Earth, shadow governments, and geopolitical conflicts. But the most surprising thing about the book may just be how compelling the central characters are in the midst of these larger-than-life concepts. . . . I can't stop thinking about it."--Chicago Review of Books

"A remarkable debut . . . Reminiscent of Max Brooks's World War Z, the story's format effectively builds suspense."--Library Journal (debut of the month)

"This stellar debut novel . . . masterfully blends together elements of sci-fi, political thriller and apocalyptic fiction. . . . A page-turner of the highest order."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Fantastic satin pillow cases for the price
Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 02 - Pure White, Number of Items: 2
Edit: I already put five stars in the first place, but I was unfair to these pillow cases in my initial review! I thought they were a little warmer than the natural silk, because I was sleeping on them with acrylic pyjamas on. I have come to realise the pillow cases are not warm. They are truly excellent in every way. I just get sweaty every time I wear acrylic pyjamas! I have already ordered two more sets of these (and have switched to micrfibre pyjamas)! Original review: First off, I want to address a popular misconception. Satin is a weave, not a fibre. So polyester satin is real satin, and it is very common. To all the people saying the makers lied about the fabric, they absolutely did not! I bought these and I bought some inexpensive silk ones at the same time. I have been loving the silk ones and only started using these lately. I'm happy with all of them. These are not silk, and I can feel the difference, but they are a nice, smooth polyester satin. The white colour is indeed a pure white. I machine washed mine and hung them to dry. They did not wrinkle, pick or pill, and they did not change in colour or size. They look fresh and pristine. I measured my pillows and got the right size. They are pretty and neat, they seem to be well sewn and well finished, with no hanging threads. They are very soft to sleep on and did not make my dry, curly hair frizz up. I slept on them without my protective bonnet, so I got the full experience! Honestly, with the smooth, tight weave of the fabric, they may be superior to the real silk in terms of babying my skin and hair. However, they are a little bit warmer. That is fine for now, since the weather is cool. I might just use these while it is cool out and switch to silk in summer, or I might continue to alternate, we will see. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would buy them again.

Amazing Pillowcases — Sleep Better Every Night!
Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 05 - Dark Grey, Number of Items: 2
The Bedsure Satin Pillowcases (2-Pack) are hands-down one of the best small upgrades I’ve made to my sleep routine. They feel luxuriously smooth — almost like silk — but are much more affordable and easy to care for. The satin surface feels gentle on your skin and hair, and I really notice the difference in reduced friction compared to regular cotton cases. What I love most: 🌬️ Cooling & Comfortable: These pillowcases stay cool and breathable all night — perfect for hot sleepers or warm weather. 💁‍♀️ Hair & Skin Friendly: My hair isn’t as tangled in the morning, and my skin feels softer with fewer sleep creases. 🛏️ Beautiful & Practical: The dark grey color looks great with my bedding, and the envelope closure keeps the pillow snug without zippers to snag hair or wash fabrics. 🎁 Perfect Gift: Comes as a 2-pack and makes a thoughtful gift for anyone — women, men, roommates, or newlyweds. They wash well and hold up without pilling or losing their silky feel. Great quality at a great price — these pillowcases are definitely worth it if you want a little luxury in your everyday sleep!

These pillowcases are honestly a great purchase. They feel incredibly smooth and soft and I noticed a real difference in both my hair and skin! my hair is less frizzy in the morning, and my skin feels softer. The quality is excellent for the price, and they’ve held up well after several washes without losing their softness or color. They also feel cool and comfortable throughout the night, which is a nice bonus. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their sleep experience!
