Geologist-adventurer Philip Mercer-"a combination of Dirk Pitt and James Bond" (The Sunday Oklahoman)-returns in his latest adventure, beginning beneath fabled Area 51 and propelling us to the edge of prophesied global destruction.... Hired to lead the excavation of caverns deep beneath Area 51, Philip Mercer finds himself drilling straight into the epicenter of an age-old conspiracy. A reclusive order of Himalayan monks, through special knowledge of the earth's tectonic movement, has predicted the end of the world-and is determined to see the prediction unfold accordingly. Now, with icebergs floating through the South Pacific and a thermonuclear bomb set to destroy an island paradise, the stage is set for Armageddon-and it is up to Philip Mercer and the beautiful, mysterious Tisa Nguyan to prevent a cataclysm beyond imagination.Du Brul, Jack is the author of 'Deep Fire Rising' with ISBN 9780451411181 and ISBN 0451411188.
