Science Fiction
Pristine water possessing natural healing powers is found
miles under Antarctic ice by a group of scientists who
stand to make billions from its sale. While people around
the world line up to buy the therapeutic water, new cases
of mad cow disease explode in rural France. Dr. Noah
Haldane and his World Health Organization team are urgently
summoned. Noah recognizes the deadliness of a prion, a microscopic
protein that kills with the speed and ferocity of a virus,
and Noah suspects that the prion’s spread in France may not
be a natural occurrence. Facing a spate of disappearances
and unexplained deaths, Noah soon realizes that the
scientific find of the century--a body of water the size of
Lake Superior buried three miles under Antarctica--might
hold the key to a microscopic Jurassic Park.
With a billion-dollar industry hanging on his silence, Noah
has to stay alive long enough to sound the alarm.
