The Man Below

SOME SECRETS REFUSE TO STAY BURIED.

Deep beneath the mountains of Los Lunas, New Mexico, in the abandoned halls of a secret government facility, Dr. Clara Rivers—a civilian consultant for a top-secret Federal task force—has vanished. Trapped in the pitch-black depths of The Pit, she's hunted by a ruthless killer known only as the Comrade—the man below.

Tied to her abduction is the Decalogue Stone: an ancient carved relic bearing an impossible message that defies history itself.

Archaeologist and FBI consultant Dr. Dan Kotler is called in to unravel the clues. Joining him is Alex Kayne, the brilliant fugitive hiding in plain sight from the very agencies pursuing her. Together, they deploy Kayne's revolutionary QuIEK technology and race against time alongside the FBI to rescue Clara and thwart a psychotic madman's deadly plan.

The first crossover between the Dan Kotler Archaeological Thrillers and the Quake Runner: Alex Kayne series could be their last.

Perfect for fans of pulse-pounding archaeological thrillers, conspiracy suspense, high-tech action, and ancient mysteries, The Man Below delivers non-stop twists, intellectual puzzles, and edge-of-your-seat adventure.
