Packed with blazing action and daring exploits, comes a nerve-shredding thriller from the best in the business.

In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has unearthed an artifact hidden in a cave for a millennium – a 50,000-year-old meteorite known as the Sacred Stone – which he soon discovers possesses potentially catastrophic radioactive power.

With the power of the meteorite, they could vaporize any city in the west. The other group is led by a megalomaniacal industrialist who seeks to carry out the utter annihilation of Islam itself. Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter, Juan Cabrillo and his ship of high-tech mercenaries, known as the Corporation, must fight to protect the scientist and the Sacred Stone – and prevent the outbreak of World War III...
