Kate McCullough, an investigative reporter, is tired of all news stories being censored and gutted. She wants to write a real explosive investigative report and she may have stumbled across a story. Some kind of secretive government communications system is built into the side of a mountain in Alaska that is more than the government admits; it may be the most powerful weapon the world has ever known. Anyone who gets too close to information about the ARC, or opposes the project seems to die, painfully.
While Kate is trying to finds leads to her story, her father unveils that he is the guardian of a secret project built by the world famous scientist Nikola Tesla in 1899 and they are going to make the machine work again. Now Kate and everyone important to her are in danger and someone will do anything to stop them. It can’t be her father’s project, no one knows about it, so it must be the people from ARC. Can Kate and her new boyfriend David figure out what is going on and save her family or have they just guaranteed everyone’s death?
I loved this book! It is full of secret government conspiracies, death threats, and wonderful creative scientific advances explained in terms a lay person can understand. Kate is a woman not to be messed with and by threatening her family, the bad guys just made her that much more determined to bring them down. David is also a smart and talented man with his own secrets, and he is a great partner for Kate in stopping this plot against the government.
There are almost two parallel stories running through the book but involving some of the same people, and I quickly decided that somewhere there would be a connection. You will have to read the book for yourself to find out how the two stories come together.
If you love action, danger, violence, technological advances, and government conspiracies, this book contains everything you enjoy. I would love to see this book as a movie!
