En el fondo del océano Pacífico, al oeste de Tonga, se ha descubierto una nave espacial, lo que hace que inmediatamente los acechantes poderes políticos y militares norteamericanos se hagan cargo de la situación y tomen la zona. Un pequeño grupo de científicos especializados en distintas áreas es requerido para iniciar una misión de exploración y reconocimiento auspiciada y controlada por la Armada estadounidense. Deberán sumergirse a trescientos metros de profundidad, establecerse en una base submarina e iniciar las investigaciones. Cuando penetran en la gigantesca nave, como no podía ser de otra forma, las sorpresas comienzan a desgranarse una tras otra. Y la mayor de todas ellas es el descubrimiento de una perfecta esfera hecha de un extraño material y procedencia desconocida que, sin duda, contiene múltiples secretos.

Sphere is a 1987 novel by Michael Crichton, his sixth novel under his own name and his sixteenth overall.
The story follows Norman Johnson, a psychologist engaged by the United States Navy, who joins a team of scientists assembled to examine a spacecraft of unknown origin discovered on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The novel begins as a science fiction story but quickly transforms into a psychological thriller, developing into an exploration of the nature of the human imagination.
