The Lightning Stones, Paperback

Descriere

Geologist and adventurer Philip Mercer is visiting an old friend who s working far down in Minnesota s Leister Deep Mine but he arrives too late to save Abe Jacobs and his climate-research team from a shocking, brutal attack. Mercer vows to seek revenge as well as answers, hoping to pick up Jacobs s search for a cache of the rare crystals known as lightning stones rumored to have been aboard Amelia Earhart s plane when it vanished in 1937. From a harrowing close call in the Midwestern U. S. to a nailbiting showdown in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, to a remote island in the middle of the Pacific, Mercer must race to stay ahead of a team of highly-trained assassins and to figure out if he s chasing a rare scientific discovery, or merely a historical fairy tale.""
