They are astonished when they witness how SHIVA intensifies the destructive power of mind on matter in a demonstration. This is a gem of a book, and is very much recommended.Beau Walker and the research team are not aware that the dangers at the SHIVA complex are more complicated, more deadly than those left behind in Russia. Much of the book is very technical (the science can get a bit overwhelming), but the last part turns spiritual. It covers a number of subjects, from psychology to physiology to government conspiracy to santeria. It is not easy for any author to sustain the reader's interest for almost 500 pages, but this author does an excellent job at it. The final confrontation takes place in an abandoned town in Nevada. On several occasions, the children show that they are the next step in human evolution.
Of course, the military will not let them go so easily. The group manages to escape, along with Adena, the first psychic test subject, and her two children. Back in California, the same complex is conducting research to create extremely lethal toxins (not just ‘regular’ Ebola, but ‘super’ Ebola), and genetically created hybrid super soldiers, with an explosive device implanted in their necks, in case of death. At the exact moment ‘it’ happened, an American nuclear-powered space shuttle in orbit vanished, and several other such anomalies happened all over the world. That is what the Russian facility was doing. Experiments are being conducted in parapsychology, with the intention of creating people who can, for instance, set off explosives from a great distance away, or perform cutting-edge genetic engineering, with their minds. They are taken to a Very Top Secret research facility inside a mountain in the California desert. After investigating the best they can, the group gets back on the plane. A normal explosion would not create a time warp inside the crater.
A normal explosion would have blown the nearby trees, outward, not inward. The crater from a normal, even nuclear, explosion would not be still growing. Whatever the cause, this was not a ‘normal’ explosion. Something happened to cause the total destruction of the facility and the nearby town, at the cost of several thousand lives. Along with several other eminent scientists, he is taken to what was a secret research facility near Moscow. He is practically forced onto a military aircraft by Burton Grimes, the source of his dislike. Beau Walker is a brilliant psychological researcher with a strong dislike for military authority.
