Great adventure read by the author of the Dirk Pitt novels.
In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has unearthed an artifact hidden in a cave for a millinnium--a 50,000-year-old meteorite known as the Scared Stone, which possesses potentially catastrophic radioactive power. But the astounding find places him in the crosshairs of two opposing terrorist groups who seek the stone for their own purposes.
One is a group of Muslim extremists who have stolen a nuclear device. With the power of the meteorite, they could vaporize any city in the West. The other group is led by a meglomaniacal industrialist who seeks to carry out the utter annihilation of Islam itself.
Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter, Juan Cabrillo and his ship, the Oregon, crewed by high-tech mercenaries known as the Corporation must fight to protect the Sacred Stone--and prevent the outbreak of World War III.
