Book description
When a new NASA satellite detects evidence of an astonishingly rare
object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency
proclaims a much-needed victory...a victory that has profound
implications for U. S. space policy and the impending presidential
election.
With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White
House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Arctic to verify the
authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including
the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the
unthinkable - evidence of scientific trickery - a bold deception that
threatens to plunge the world into controversy...
