For centuries, it has waited beneath the Arctic ice. No one knows who built it. No one knows what it can do. Everyone wants it. They call it simply"the object." When an American research ship disappears in the frozen waters of the Chukchi Sea, a U.S. Coast Guard special operations team is sent to investigate. What they find is impossible: an abandoned vessel, a destroyed power system, bombs hidden aboard, and evidence of a discovery powerful enough to change the world. But the Americans are not alone. A Russian oil platform nearby is hiding its own secret-a mysterious energy source buried beneath the ocean floor. If Russia recovers it, the geopolitical balance of the planet could collapse overnight. Now two nations are locked in a deadly race for the greatest discovery in human history. The Russians will kill to control it. The Americans will kill to stop them. And somewhere in the darkness below the Arctic Ocean ... the object is waking up.A Clive Cussler-style Arctic techno-thriller with Tom Clancy-level geopolitical stakes.
