Lincoln Miller, an ex-Navy SEAL
turned NCIS Special Agent is sent to Aquarius, the world’s only
sub-oceanic research facility located off the Florida Keys, to
investigate reports of ocean dumping. A week into his stay, strange red
flakes descend from the surface. Scores of fish are dead and dying,
poisoned by the debris that turns to powder in Miller’s fingers and
tastes like blood.
Miller heads for the surface, ready to fight whoever is polluting on his watch. But he finds nothing. No ships. No polluters.
No oxygen.
Instead, he finds a cloudless sky
full of red particles dropping like snow and coating the ocean with a
thick film that stretches to the horizon. When a dead blue whale
collides with Aquarius, Miller begins a harrowing race to escape the
affected area. Cut off from the rest of the world and surrounded by
death, Miller makes his way to Miami where he discovers just one
survivor, and the awful truth: the strange phenomenon that robbed the
air of its life giving oxygen was an attack by an enemy reborn from the
ashes of World War II. And they’re just getting started. Miami, Tel
Aviv, and Tokyo have all been destroyed. Millions are dead.
And if Miller can’t track down and stop those responsible in seven days, the rest of the world is next.
OH this gives me goose bumps just reading. I can't wait to get this. This book is far from my comfort zone but something about it just screams "READ ME" to me!
