What if the cataclysmic Tunguska explosion of 1908 was caused, not by a meteor or a comet, but by a microscopic black hole?
What if that fantastic object - smaller than an atom, older than the stars, heavier than a mountain - is still down there, orbiting deep inside the earth, slowly consuming the planet?
What if only a rookie government agent and an uncannily-insightful consultant stand between a renegade Russian billionaire and his plans to use the black hole to change history - or end it?
What if it's all true?
For an alternative view of the Tunguska event and to explore the science behind Singularity, visit the Vurdalak Conjecture website.

"Singularity is a swift, gripping novel with a goose-pimple mix of scary science and near-future action. An excellent debut from Bill DeSmedt - and I'll be looking forward to his next one!"- Greg Bear, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author
"DeSmedt veers an action-packed thriller into perilous realms of black hole physics. The combination of adrenaline and intellect sizzles."
- David Brin, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author

The best kind of science fiction: lots of science, lots of fiction, and single concept that changes the world. All wrapped up in a tasty coating of spy thriller. As a geologist I doubted the likelihood of the concept, then I ran some numbers and found the author's science impeccable. ...

Just finished a second listen of Singularity and am, again, impressed by it. The concept itself is fascinating and I know people very like Jon Knox. Is there any news on when Duality will be out?
