A two-year-old child vanishes, his clothes left on the bed where he slept. An Antarctic lake reveals a prehistoric secret that has been locked under two miles of ice for an epoch. And a cruise ship sails for the grand opening celebration of the spectacular Paradeisia resort, but the passengers and crew are unaware that a deadly virus has been brought onboard and is about to strike. Drawing on meticulous scientific research and clues from antiquity, internationally bestselling author B.C.CHASE continues the thrill ride of discovery and suspense he launched with Origin of Paradise, and sets the stage for the climactic finale of his tour de force Paradeisia Trilogy.
