About this ebook

When two MIT geniuses stumble upon an artifact of epic proportions, the U.S. government, having already hidden another piece of this relic for over a century, are terrified their secret may be exposed! To protect its frightening technology, and mankind's we-are-alone-in-the-universe mantra, the CIA dispatch a team to cover up the discovery. The scientists, understanding the "good to mankind" their discovery represents, through ingenuity and teamwork, escape a massive dragnet and become fugitives, willing to put their lives on the line for what they consider the greater good. With smarts versus gunfire, the race is on, to the location of the ancient machine!
