The Dig

Something is alive in the emptiness of space. A space adventure by Sean Clark in collaboration with filmmaker Steven Spielberg. You saved the Earth from total destruction. Now can you save yourself? An asteroid the size of a small moon is headed for Earth, and only NASA veteran Boston Low has the knowledge needed to stop it. Joining him are award-winning journalist Maggie Robbins and internationally renowned geologist Ludger Brink. After the wayward asteroid is placed in a safe orbit, the trio conducts a routine survey of its rocky surface. What they discover is anything but routine. Low, Brink and Robbins unwittingly trigger a mechanism that transforms the asteroid into a crystal-like spaceship. The team is hurled across the galaxy to a planet so desolate that Brink names it Cocytus, after the ninth circle of hell in Dante's Inferno. The desolate landscape was apparently once home to a sophisticated civilization with remnants of advanced architecture, advanced technology and a ramified network of underground tunnels. But no cocytans. Who were the original inhabitants of this once rich empire turned wasteland? What are these apparitions that mysteriously appear from time to time? Why were Low, Robbins and Brink brought to this place? And how can Low keep his team from breaking in the face of this uncertainty? To return to Earth, they must dig for answers, both on the surface of the planet and deep within. The combined talents of LucasArts and legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg make for an epic adventure that plunges headlong into the unknown. And it takes you with it.
