David Schubert, now America's first ambassador to the ancient Anunnaki gods, is tasked with building a lasting peace between the two sides. Although the path toward such a peace is complicated by the vast superiority of Anunnaki weapons and spacecraft, David soon learns that an even greater threat to humanity is rapidly approaching. At the landing platform in Baalbek, David is brought aboard the goddess's pyramid shaped spacecraft (known as a "pyramidion"), where he is immediately informed that a thermonuclear missile of unknown origin has just been fired at the pyramidion from a point in Northern Canada, which David would have thought impossible as, for several weeks, an impenetrable Anunnaki ray has been neutralizing all thermonuclear triggers on Earth. Someone, however, has evidently developed technology that can overcome the Anunnakis' defensive ray. David needs to identify the source of such mighty technology, as it could be used to wipe humankind off the face of the Earth despite any peace forged between Earth and the Anunnaki. David himself is unable to investigate, as he's aboard an Anunnaki craft and working in a diplomatic capacity, so his bodyguard, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Catharine Weldon, is dispatched by the President to Northern Canada to pinpoint the missile's launch point and, if possible, recover a small scientific submarine that recently went missing while investigating suspicious activity on one of the largest lakes on the North American continent. That night, the icy lake erupts into a violent confrontation between Catharine (with her hastily assembled contingent) and an unidentified saucer-shaped spacecraft under the command of the Anunnakis' deadliest ancient enemy, who'd long been thought dead. Time is running out for David, Catharine, and humankind. Buy for a timeless tapestry of peril today!
