It bulged from a ledge in the quarry wall like a giant eye peering through sleepy granite lids. Jason Broadwell stared back, convinced that, whatever it was, it didn't belong there. He seeks advice, only to be edged out of his home and livelihood by an over-reaching government intent on keeping his discovery - a billion-year-old mystery - a secret. Angry and betrayed, he takes matters into his own hands only to then have the situation escalate out of control. International tensions flare, radicals respond, and tragedy strikes, both across the globe and close to home. Alone, hungry, and sheltering in the wild with winter fast approaching, Jason concludes that he, as the person who triggered the madness, is the only one who can end it. With few allies, little money, and a U.S. Marshall closing in, he sets out on that quest knowing the bitter price he'll pay if he succeeds.
