Callie McIntyre is a astrophysicist for NASA, working to engineer a rocket that can shoot across to the Andromeda galaxy. Earth materials are getting harder to find; and everyday metals needed for shelter and safety, like aluminum and titanium are running out. Mines are collapsing from brittleness and earthquakes, and the Earth is plunged into a disaster. Panic rises, until, Callie runs experiments, and travels country-to-country-- and finds a sustainable super-material in an underground base in Kazakhstan, a non-Newtonian chemical-reacting substance seeping through the insulation into the walls of a bathroom. But they can't build the rocket. Not without getting incredibly ill. Amyranium is sickening anyone who gets too close, but not for Callie. And when time is running out, and they have to launch the NOAH (New Origin Andromeda Horizon) rocket, will the mission succeed?
