From four billion years in the past comes a creature so AWESOME, so GIGANTIC, it blots out the SKY! The earth SHUDDERS with its every STEP, WINDOWS SHATTER with its every hateful WORD! It has not come to simply DESTROY us -- not simply to HUNT and EAT -- but to ERASE the HUMAN MIND from the face of the EARTH! It has come to RECLAIM its PLANET! IS THERE NOTHING THAT CAN STOP IT???

Half a world away, beneath the troubled waters of the Persian Gulf, something HEARS the tortured WAIL of a NATION at hope's END! Something ever VIGILANT. Something HUMMING with INDESCRIBABLE power. Something WISE. Something STRONG. Something READY FOR ACTION. Something BIG . . .
