Project Aura

El experimento más escalofriante de todos los tiempos está a punto de comenzar. El presidente lo ignora por completo. La prensa también. Se trata de un experimento secreto, que se está llevando a cabo en una base militar de Nuevo México y que puede resultar catastrófico. Nadie sabe nada tampoco sobre el inquietante hallazgo de un arqueólogo en la Gran Pirámide de Egipto, que puede cambiar el mundo. Lo único cierto en esta cadena de enigmas y revelaciones que hielan la sangre es que algo terrible está por ocurrir, una catástrofe que la consejera en asuntos científicos del presidente deberá evitar, cueste lo que cueste.

Pearl Harbor. The JFK Assassination. September 11th. What do these events have in common? They all may have been engineered by one of the most elite, powerful, and secret organizations . . . in the U.S. government.A botched hostage rescue in the Philippines has earned Delta Force Major Jim Vaughn a choice: retire in disgrace, or join the aptly named Section 8 -- a collection of castoffs seemingly accountable to no one, composed of a handful of operators skilled enough to be unstoppable, and greedy, desperate, or insane enough to be expendable.

The fate of the country is suddenly in frighteningly unstable hands -- and for Jim Vaughn, the shocking truth has become devastatingly clear: there is only one way into Section 8 . . . and no way out.

At the awful dawn of a nuclear age-at the painful birth of the Cold War-the Citadel was constructed in secret beneath the Antarctic ice. Housing the most devastating weapon imaginable, it was a safeguard against an unseen threat far more potent than the growing Communist menace. Now, six decades later, America 's destruction seems all but assured-because the enemy has re-emerged from the shadows of time.

And the Citadel has been breached.

The commander of Section 8-a covert force of misfits assigned the impossible missions no one else will touch-Captain Jim Vaughn must now lead his unit into the unknown to diffuse a nightmare of astronomical proportions. The future hangs in the balance-and the ultimate survival of humankind is in the hands of men with nothing left to lose…
