In 1959, in an underground laboratory in a remote region of West Virginia, a secret government experiment went terribly awry. Half a dozen scientists mysteriously disappeared, and all subsequent efforts to rescue them failed. In desperation, President Eisenhower ordered the lab sealed shut and all records of its existence destroyed. Now, fifty-four years later, something from the lab has emerged.
When mysterious events begin occurring along the New River Valley in West Virginia, government agents Mike Califano and Ana Thorne are sent to investigate. What they discover will shake the foundations of science and religion and put both agents in the crosshairs of a deadly, worldwide conspiracy.
Today marks the inaugural edition of our new Friday feature: $5 Friday! Each Friday, we will post a book or reading related trivia question and you can guess the answer in the comments section. We’ll leave the contest open until 8p CST the following Thursday night. I’ll include the winners names (first name, last initial) with the new trivia question on Friday morning.
