When astrophysicists Dr. Roger Burke and Dr. Miriam Fisher discover a nearby star in the final stages of collapse, pointed directly at Earth, they have thirty days before a gamma ray burst strips the ozone layer and ends all life on the planet. Roger's controversial supernova prediction model has never been tested — until now. But the scientific establishment doesn't want the truth told, and a shadowy operative with fifty years of secrets to protect will do whatever it takes to keep Roger quiet. What Roger and Miriam don't yet know is that the star holds a secret far greater than its own destruction.

Since the second grade, Roger and Miriam have been inseparable — two brilliant scientists bound by a lifetime of discovery, unspoken love, and the stubborn certainty that the universe has something extraordinary waiting for them. It does. Miriam's Star is the story of the greatest astronomical discovery in human history and the two people who were always meant to find it — and each other.
