Recent research leads us to believe that this phenomenon had much to do with the fall of a meteorite that raised a deadly cloud of toxic gas which affected the area and its population with radioactive emissions lasting several centuries. The U.S. military, following the tracks of a group of g rave robbers and the advice of an uns crupulous archaeologist named Markus Sander, is determined to find the meteorite and exploit its rare radioactive qualities within its new defense program. The members of the “Black Seed” commando have the mission of finding the meteorite with the help of huge military means, ruthlessly eliminat ing all outside i nterference, leaving along the way the corpses of judges, doctors and witnesses. But the U.S. military are not the only ones seeking the sanctuary. The fate of humanity depends on the controversial legacy of the ancient Maya people being shared by all nations and not monopolized by one of them, such is the power lying in the nuclear core of the meteorite. The moment of truth is approaching and the future of humanity depends on a group of committed men and women of good will. Will they be able to outmanoeuvre the powerfull American military-industrial complex? George M. CHRISTOPHER Biography George M.
