Hidden away in the Arizona desert is America's most closely guarded secret - a secret that could pave the way to world domination...or to hell! Two men are desperate to crack the wall of silence surrounding Asterisk. Young White House aide John Thorne, who, driven by loyalty to the memory of a dead man, is willing to sacrifice almost anything to learn the truth. And CIA agent Ted Hollander, driven beyond loyalty by his terrifying discovery, is turning to the Russians in a last-ditch attempt to save the world! Both these men must be stopped - permanently. And the US Government doesn't care how.
