Quantum Spark - Paperback

by V. C. Lawrence (Author)

Beneath the ice lies a secret older than humanity. Someone has been waiting a very long time for them to find it.

Haunted by a car crash that destroyed his family, Dr. John Saladi takes one last assignment: lead a team to Antarctica to find a vanished research expedition. What they discover isn't wreckage. It's a doorway.

In the Arctic, John's estranged brother - Colonel Tzabar Saladi - is already following the same trail. His military mission has uncovered a conspiracy reaching far beyond any government, centered on a forbidden mountain and an artifact recovered from a doomed Russian expedition in 1885.

The artifact: a crystal-inlaid metal disc, five million years old. Built from materials unknown to science. And, according to the Inuit who have guarded the secret for generations, capable of ending the world.

Two brothers. Two expeditions. One impossible destination: a hidden city buried beneath the Earth, where an ancient intelligence has been counting down to a moment that comes once in a cycle of civilization.

They are running out of time to stop it.

Quantum Spark is an action-packed science-fiction thriller weaving ancient-astronaut mythology, hollow-earth adventure, and military conspiracy into a race that spans continents - and rewrites everything you thought you knew about human history. For fans of James Rollins, Preston & Child, and Stargate SG-1.
