About This Book

Two men stationed on a tiny asteroid investigate puzzling fluctuations in the rock's measured mass. Laboratory balances and instruments behave inconsistently while an apparently massless entity manifests, turning pages and manipulating equipment yet leaving no detectable energy signature. As one man's physical mass seems to diminish and the asteroid's recorded mass continues to fall, the pair attempt methodical tests and observations to explain an impossible presence. The story follows their scientific procedures, rising unease, and the unfolding mystery of a being that challenges physical laws and the characters' perceptions of reality.
