Blaine McCracken races to keep dark matter out of the wrong hands in a
page-turner that "should be mandatory reading for all thriller
aficionados" (Steve Berry, **New York Times-bestselling author).
Rogue special-operations agent McCracken has never been shy about
answering the call, and this time it comes in the aftermath of a
deepwater oil rig disaster that claims the life of a onetime member of
his commando unit. The remnants of the rig and its missing crew lead him
to the inescapable conclusion that one of the most mysterious and deadly
forces in the universe is to blame: dark matter, both a limitless source
of potential energy and an unimaginably destructive weapon. Joining
forces again with his trusty sidekick, Johnny Wareagle, McCracken races
to stop two deadly enemies who want the dark matter at all costs. A
powerful energy magnate and the leader of a Japanese doomsday cult both
seek the ultimate prize for their own nefarious reasons, and McCracken
and Wareagle's mission to defeat them takes the duo on a nonstop journey
across the world and thousands of years into the past where the truth
lies in the ancient Pandora's Temple, built to safeguard the world's
most powerful weapon. McCracken's only hope to save the world is to find
the mythical temple. Along the way, he and Wareagle find themselves up
against Mexican drug gangs, killer robots, an army of professional
assassins, and a legendary sea monster. The hero of nine previous
bestselling thrillers, McCracken is used to the odds being stacked
against him, but this time the stakes have never been higher.
