The Ice Cap and the Rift [excerpt]
A combo-quake rakes the mid-Atlantic Ridge. A 15-mile rift rips across an Icelandic ice cap. A dissected cave holds mysterious ancient technology. John Henry Morgan, ex-Marine, Director of the United Nation's Institute for the Study of Unusual Phenomena, returns from the devastating attack on ISUP’s Mountain project in Belize, only to be cast into the aftermath of the combo-quake and the dangers of the rift. Morgan and key ISUP staff mount an expedition to the rift, and discover a cavern occupied one hundred and eighty thousand years ago, containing a perfectly preserved high-tech habitat, and a travel machine operated by unknown scientific principles. The benign scientific expedition to study the cave and its contents encounters deceit and violence, as nations and terrorist groups ferret out the existence and significance of the discoveries; and mount sophisticated operations to acquire technological treasures for their own purposes. ISUP finds itself at the convergence of clandestine assault from several fronts. Violence escalates. Lives become expendable--a scenario that has plagued the human race through the chronicles of time. Frantic action: Prague, London, New York, Washington, D.C., Libya, France, Spain, China, Iceland. Across oceans and air lanes, factions grapple for power. Survival for the ISUP scientists and preservation of new technologies for the benefit of humanity lie in choices of whom to trust.
