Now in paperback! The author of the Ring trilogy, which spawned blockbuster movies on both sides of the Pacific, presents a new level of terror with an apocalyptic work that casts doubt on the very earth and skies.

When a team of American scientists tests new computer hardware by calculating the value of pi into the deep decimals, the figures begin to repeat a pattern where there ought to be none. Mathematically untenable—unless the physical constants that undergird our universe have altered, ever so slightly…

A cascade of missing persons reports, far from being supernatural, threatens to be perfectly natural—a profound disturbance in being itself—and explodes into a mind trip of a crescendo in this tale of quantum horror.
