For more than five years, Jim Barnes has been quietly investigating several ancient artifacts that he and the NWIDI team discovered buried the sand off the coast of Cuba. Due to the sensitive nature of these objects, the U.S. government provides Jim with a small laboratory at a secret Navy research facility in the Bahamas. While attending a conference in Munich, Germany, Jim is handed a file that not only sheds light on the origin of the artifacts but also identifies a group of international terrorist's intent on recovering the artifacts and destroying everything they represent

Possession of the Munich file makes Jim a high-priority target, so the government moves him to a new location where he embarks on a mission ordered by the President himself. Join Jim and his hastily assembled crew as they race to understand the artifacts and destroy the terrorists.
