Jon Land's 7th exciting thriller, released in February 1988.
"A town in Oregon dies instantly - wiped out by a laserlike beam, leaving nothing behind but a whirling cloud of black dust.
Another town in remote Colorado is taken over by a mysterious army that imprisons its citizens and begins strange activities on the far side of the mountain.
The war is on for an ancient gemstone - the most precious mineral on earth and the greatest power source ever known to man - both key to the ultimate weapon and the foolproof shield against it.
Blaine McCracken - the exiled agent with fourteen ways to kill a man in under two seconds - unites with beautiful Natalya Tomachenko, the KGB's number-one assassin, to gain control of this life-giving, death-dealing superforce, whose origin is shrouded in legend and buried on the floor of the sea."
Once again, Blaine McCracken - rogue, renegade, and killer, feared by his allies and enemies alike - must fight to return sanity to a world gone mad...yet a world that must survive.
