Dark rising

More about the book

When a massive amount of gamma radiation is detected somewhere beneath the desert of Iran, Alex Hunter and his highly trained incursion team are sent to investigate. They discover an underground facility but no lab, no weapons, no scientists - not even radiation. Meanwhile, Iran is preparing for the return of the prophet and Israel is threatening nuclear war. Then another gamma spike is detected - and someone, or something, is draining the fluids from the bodies of Iranian soldiers in the desert. Now it's up to Alex to follow the traces of radiation all the way to the ancient caves of Arak, where he'll come face to face with a creature from his darkest nightmares.--From back cover.
