Once every 4,500 years, a superhot sunspot - the Tartaus sunspot - aligned itself with Earth and caused immense worldwide flooding and sun-scorching. It is said that when the Capstone sat atop the Great Pyramid, no such flooding or solar damage occurred. And, according to legend, whosoever places the Capstone on the pyramid at the next Tartarus Rotation will gain absolute power over Earth for the next 1,000 years. In 2006, the Tartarus Rotation will come again, but the capstone is nowhere to be found. With the fate of global dominance hanging in the balance, nearly every world power sends forth its troops to locate the Capstone. Among them are the United States, the European Union, Israel, ruthless terrorists, and one other unusual force: a coalition of seven smaller nations that have decided that the capstone is too powerful for any one country to hold. So they band together against all odds and send an eight-man team to take on all the great forces in the chase. Led by an Australian super-soldier named Jack West, Jr., the team includes a Canadian professor, two crack Irish commandos (one of whom is female), a Spanish paratrooper, a Jamaican soldier, an arab commando, and a daredevil New Zealand pilot. And with them always is a little girl named Lily, the ten-year-old daughter of the Oracle of Siwa - one of only two people in the world who can decode an ancient text that leads to the Capstone. This stalwart group embarks on a global journey filled with booby-trapped mines, stupendous ancient wonders, gigantic evil forces, and adventure beyond imagination.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=617996 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=688852 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=497186 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=463952 Discovering four strange stones in an underwater cavern, oilman Frik van Alman realizes that their strange properties may solve the worlds energy problems, and when the stones are stolen, he and his friends in the Daredevils Club try to recover them. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1212818 With Dreamland, the aerospace weapons testing facility, facing budget cuts, Colonel Bastien tries to salvage Antares, a program that merges electronic data with a pilots natural senses, until it is found that the pilot can no longer tell reality from computer-induced delusions. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=412305 North Africa is in turmoil.
