The Eternity Machine
by Vaughn Heppner
On an oceanic research vessel, the gifted but lonely geologist Dr. Selene Khan has found an enigmatic riddle near the epicenter of the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake. She is stunned to discover a deep underwater dome possibly thousands of years old. While trying to decipher the ancient puzzle, her crew is murdered and Selene must swim for her life, all alone in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Halfway across the world in France, covert agent Jack Elliot has uncovered a sinister plot involving an incredible 900 grams of antimatter. Hidden clues lead his team to Egypt. But the faceless enemy knows he is coming. While matching wits against genetically superior foes, Jack barely escapes with his life while rescuing Dr. Selene Khan from the clutches of a secret society older than the pyramids. Now, two strangers suspicious of everyone must work together toward a common goal. They are in a deadly race against genetically-enhanced scientists and soldiers. The others are attempting to repair alien machines of incredible age and for a mysterious, possibly otherworldly purpose. Their original use led to an ancient catastrophe that almost destroyed all life. If the machines run again…it will change what it means to be human. THE ETERNITY MACHINE is a lightning-paced adventure…utterly unpredictable right up to its stunning conclusion.**
