Harry Block, professor of geology from Glen Canyon College and his colleague Ira Kane, former researcher of Defense who now teaches biology at school.
When they arrive at the crash site, Ira and Harry discover an asteroid buried 80 feet deeper under ground in a little gulf that the violence of the shock had revealed. The meteor has the particularity of bleeding a strange blue liquid. Back to their laboratory, Ira discovers that this liquid contains microorganisms composed of alien DNA that multiply at an uncredible speed. Both professors keep their discovery in secret.
