Ex-CIA agent and former Green Beret Blaine McCracken and
several of his closest associates were known as the ones to
contact if you need to pull off the impossible job, but
they haven't seen much action for the past several years.
That changes when Blaine is brought in to rescue hostages
from an evil Mexican drug lord. He and Johnny Wareagle
complete the mission successfully, but one of the hostages
is killed in the gunfight that ensues. Blaine hates to lose
anyone and it weighs on him.
A week later, to celebrate turning 60, Blaine and his long-
time buddies plan to meet in New Orleans. No sooner do
Blaine and Johnny arrive than they learn that one of their
friends is reported dead after a disaster on an offshore
oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Further investigation into
the tragic accident reveals some extremely perplexing
information. Calling on the expertise of his friends,
Blaine and his aging band of specialists set out to locate
the terrifying source that caused the catastrophe. Fearing
it to be the doomsday element known as dark matter, it soon
becomes a race against time to save the world.
Could the ancient mythical Greek legend of Pandora's
Temple, built to house a unique jar that could destroy the
world if opened, have anything to do with what's happening
today? Blaine's journey to find the answer and stop the
chaos involves more action-adventure than seems humanly
possible to withstand. Will the evil men pursuing the dark
matter legend for nefarious reasons be stopped?
Jon Land has brought back one of his readers'
favorite characters from his first-ever series and given
Blaine McCracken an exhilarating, action-filled thriller
that is thoroughly entertaining first page to last. The
break-neck speed of the narrative, the exemplary
development of the plotline and the complex interaction
among the characters makes PANDORA'S TEMPLE a must-read for
the action-adventure enthusiast.
Pandora's Temple sees Blaine McCracken, the hero of
Jon Land's first-ever series, return to action after
a mystifying disaster at sea. He answers the call,
discovers what he's up against and recruits his longtime
partner in crime-fighting, Johnny Wareagle.
Together, in a race against time, they pursue the source of
the most ancient and terrifying weapon the world has yet
encountered: dark matter. But a wealthy magnate and a
doomsday cult leader are also seeking this weapon, each for
their own nefarious reasons - even if they must kill to
capture and control it.
Braving Mexican drug gangs, killer robots, an army of
professional assassins, and a legendary sea monster,
McCracken and Wareagle find themselves confronting an
unbelievable reality at the source of their quest. . . .
