The Alex Cave Series Book 4. Gravity
While on vacation sailing the waters of the Puget Sound, Alex sees a brilliant flash of light from an oil tanker and changes course to help. He discovers there was no explosion, no one on board, and the oil has vanished without a trace. The mystery of the missing crew grows even more when the bodies are found 100-miles inland in the snow on Mount Baker, and there are no footprints leading in or out of the area.
Crude oil supplies begin to vanish, sending civilization into chaos and pitting human against human. No one knows why or who is behind it, until a man in a hospital describes what he witnessed at a pumping station in the Alaska pipeline and things start falling into place. Cave and his friends begin to formulate a plan, but the only question is are they going to be able to solve this mystery and save civilization before it is too late?
The city of Victoria lay in ruins, with bodies stacked in long rows upon crumbled streets, but the seismic event did not register as a major earthquake.
A climatologist discovers a massive block of transparent ice in the Arctic Ocean and is shocked to see dozens of pilot whales frozen inside, but no one can explain how the water could freeze so quickly.
The ice sheet continues to expand at an alarming rate, spreading south into the Bering Sea. Weather patterns change for the worse, and threaten a catastrophe that will affect the entire world. As various government agencies struggle to find a solution, they all converge on a single man: Alex Cave, whose previous experience with ancient alien artifacts makes him the only man capable of solving this mystery. As a special adviser to the Director of National Security, Martin Donner, Alex is given special powers to find out the cause and preferably prevent a disaster in the making. He is an ex-CIA agent and more than capable of dealing with those who try to thwart his efforts to find a speedy solution.
Alex leads a small band of volunteers in a desperate attempt to remedy the situation before civilization faces ecological disaster, but the efforts of our heroes is thwarted by those in their number who have their own agenda, and the interference of a group of well-organized modern day pirates further complicates their mission to save humanity from extinction.
In part-2 of Cold Energy, Alex is trying to recover an alien artifact from the crater of a dormant volcano when things go horribly wrong. The device is stolen and taken to COBRA, a secret research facility south of Yellowstone National Park. His good friend is kidnapped and forced to assist with the experiments, but their tests are creating adverse effects throughout the park and threaten to cause a super volcanic eruption.
With unexpected twists and turns, including a mysterious six-foot silver sphere, Alex must fight treachery, betrayal, and his own emotions to save the world from extinction.
The Alex Cave series, by this now bestselling and award-winning author, is a fantastic ride from start to finish, with thrilling scenarios, exhilarating situations, and nail-biting suspense!â€
