Global oil supplies begin to vanish without a trace. Society starts to crumble, and only geologist Alex Cave can save civilization from total collapse.When his wife was murdered during a mission, Alex quit the CIA for a less stressful life as a geology instructor. At least, that was his plan.While on vacation sailing the waters of the Puget Sound, Alex sees a brilliant flash of light from an oil tanker and changes course to help. He discovers there was no explosion, no one on board, and the oil has vanished without a trace. The mystery of the missing crew grows even more when the bodies are found 100-miles inland in the snow on Mount Baker, but there are no footprints leading in or out of the area.Crude oil supplies begin to vanish, sending civilization into chaos and pitting human against human. A crazy militia group surfaces, who at first offer military type protection to those who come to their compound, but as the group undergoes a drastic change in command, things get out of control and tempers flare when their new leader kills without compunction, then makes the mistake of capturing Cave's friends.No one is certain what is going on or who is behind it, until a man in a hospital describes what he witnessed at a pumping station in the Alaska pipeline and things start falling into place. Cave and his friends begin to formulate a plan, but the only question is are they going to be able to solve this mystery and save civilization before it is too late.A fantastic ride from start to finish, with thrilling scenarios, exhilarating situations, and nail-biting suspense by this bestselling and award-winning author.

I put up with the awfulness of tense. Often, in the same sentence he'd use present tense and past tense. But when the women began throwing themselves at his hero, I hated it. Yet I kept on because I was interested in the ideas, but when even the intelligent women became helpless I'd had enough. Too bad because the sci fi aspects were intriguing.
