Sacred Stone - Clive Cussler

When a scientist stumbles across the result of his lifetimes work in the remote landscape of Greenland he couldn't be happier. The hard work he has put in and funding he had received all seem worth it. Little does he know however that his discovery has a lot more to it than meets the eye.

His life is at risk, along with the lives of millions more and it's up to Juan Cabrillo and the Corporation to try and save the millions of innocent lives. This is the second ...
