Kazuma’s job as an elite investigator for the Supernatural Security Division usually involves policing the shadows; keeping the things that go bump in the night away from the civilian population. But a routine shift turns into an apocalyptic nightmare when the sky above Tokyo literally tears itself open.
​Out of the atmosphere drops the Shiver-Colossus. It isn't a beast of flesh and bone, but a floating mountain composed of trillions of vibrating silver needles, held in a crushing mass by a blinding magnetic core. It doesn’t roar; instead, it broadcasts an eerie, absolute silence. Its high-frequency vibrations are so intense that falling rain instantly vaporizes into mist, and concrete office buildings disintegrate into drifts of fine gray sand.
