What is The Dig about?
Amazon.com Review When a mile-wide asteroid appears in orbit around Earth, ex-astronaut Boston Low is called on to return to space and nudge the monster into a stable position. When he, a journalist and a scientist investigate the asteroid's surface, they enter a time and place of mystery, danger and revelation: the planet Cocytus, once home to an intelligent race but now a haunted museum to their incredibly advanced civilization. An epic science fiction adventure too big for even Steven Spielberg to bring to the screen! From Publishers Weekly That this isn't an everyday SF novel is evident from the book's credits: "LucasArts Entertainment Company presents The Dig, by Alan Dean Foster, based on a story by Sean Clark, inspired by Steven Spielberg." The text reveals that, in fact, this is scarcely a novel at all; rather, it's a computer adventure game?specifically, The Dig, available later this year on CD-ROM for PCs?translated onto the page. The premise is simple: a party of astronauts travels to an asteroid that has veered too close to Earth; when they set off atomic charges to spin the rock into a stable orbit, they uncover a deserted alien civilization and go exploring.
