Product Description:
Polar shift: It is the name for a phenomenon that may have
occurred many times in the past. At the very least, it disorients
birds and animals and damages electrical equipment. At its
worst, it causes massive eruptions, earthquakes, and climatic
changes. At its very worst, it would mean the obliteration
of all living matter, and if that happens-exit Earth.
Sixty years ago, an eccentric Hungarian genius discovered
how to artificially trigger such a shift, but then his work
was lost, or so it was thought. Now, the charismatic leader
of an anti-globalization group plans to use the work to give
the world's industrialized nations a small jolt, then reverse
the shift back again. The only problem is, it cannot be reversed.
Once the shift starts, there is nothing anyone can do about
it.
Austin, Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA Special Assignments
Team certainly have faced dire situations before, but never
have they encountered anything like this. This time . . .
even they may be too late.
