The Lightning Stones: A Novel

The Lightning Stones: A Novel

Geologist and adventurer Philip Mercer is visiting an old friend whoâ€™s working far down in Minnesotaâ€™s Leister Deep Mineâ€”but he arrives too late to save Abe Jacobs and his climate-research team from a shocking, brutal attack. Mercer vows to seek revenge as well as answers, hoping to pick up Jacobsâ€™s search for a cache of the rare crystals known as lightning stonesâ€”rumored to have been aboard Amelia Earhartâ€™s plane when it vanished in 1937.
Â
From a harrowing close call in the Midwestern U.S. to a nailbiting showdown in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, to a remote island in the middle of the Pacific, Mercer must race to stay ahead of a team of highly-trained assassinsâ€”and to figure out if heâ€™s chasing a rare scientific discovery, or merely a historical fairy tale.
