Sacred Stone - Clive Cussler ... hidden in a cave for a millennium: a 50,000 year-old meteorite known as the Sacred Stone - which he soon discovers possesses potentially catastrophic radioactive power.

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. In fact it means he is caught in a massive fight to see who can get it from him first, either the man who financed his dig and wants to wipe out Islam or a terrorist group hell bent on unleashing a nuclear weapon in London.
