The planet isn't the one at risk here — we are. A glowing sphere touches down in Central Park, and out steps Klaatu, envoy of an interstellar civilization that has already begun weighing humanity's future. His task: determine whether our species can halt the damage it inflicts on its own world. Astrobiologist Helen Benson fights to get him heard by world leaders, while the military answers with firepower and a towering machine waits for instructions. Time is running out fast.
