In a breathtaking debut, Kent Lester has married fast-paced narrative
and cutting-edge, reality-based science to produce an edge-of-the-seat
thriller in The Seventh Sun.
A seemingly random murder alerts scientist Dan Clifford to a global
conspiracy that stretches from the halls of Washington to the Honduran
coast. Illegal undersea activities have unwittingly uncovered a
primordial secret that is wreaking havoc on aquatic life and the local
human population.
When the CDC and the full resources of a US "threat interdiction" team
fails to uncover the source of the devastation, Dan and a brilliant
marine biologist, Rachel Sullivan, must race to unravel an unimaginable,
ancient mystery in the murky depths. It's up to them to stop this terror
before a determined multinational corporation triggers a worldwide
extinction event - the Seventh Sun of ancient myth.
