Book description
In a twisting, fast-moving adventure, ex-Navy Seal Nolan Kilkenny finds
himself on a dangerous mission where he must recover a priceless
artifact of human existence. The key to all life has suddenly become
worth killing for…
Deep in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica, a remote NASA research lab
rests atop a two-mile thick glacier, covering a vast underground water
resevoir. But the true discovery isn't the lake buried in ice - it's
what has been found within its boundaries. Something amazing. Something
alive. And it may hold the answers to existence itself.
When the lab is attacked and its scientists murdered, Nolan Kilkenny
realises that there is more than science at stake - there's power,
money, and what may be another step in evolution. Racing around the
globe, Kilkenny must stop the machinations of a diabolical adversary and
recover a priceless artifact of human existence - or die trying…
