Jack had one morning of peace on the island where his friends died. Then the seaplane came.
General Skyler doesn't want Jack dead. He wants his blood.
Ten boats circle the island, and Jack goes under them, half a mile without coming up for air, into a cove where something six feet long and armored is waiting. He has no weapons worth the name, only what he can improvise, and a body that frightens him more than anything in the water.
It isn't enough. Four hundred feet under the Nevada desert there is a dome built to make a captive animal believe it has sky. What lives in it has never been controlled. Skyler thinks a man with alien DNA might manage it.
Jack counts alarm panels and looks for a way out. Above him, Kim Holland and two late-night radio hosts are converging on Rachel, Nevada, the last town before Area 51.
He was told he'd be free in a week. He was told a lot of things.
