In a harrowing tale of scientific experimentation on the fringe of possibility, author JH Glaze takes you into the depths of the Hawks Mountain Defense Development facility. There you will bear witness to the culmination of years of work as scientific researchers Alex Conner and Donna Shafer initialize the final stage of their intelligence enhancement project. Unknown to them, while preparing the test subject for the experiment, negligence of a lab assistant sets them on a course to disastrous confrontation. As the clock ticks, the facility goes into lockdown. All communications with the outside world have been severed, and the military is contemplating total sterilization of the facility to avoid a catastrophic contamination of the surrounding area. With the help of an unlikely ally, the scientists race against all odds in an attempt to stop the military and survive the ordeal before their time and luck runs out.
