The SEALs never rest -- but neither do their enemies.Borders have been redrawn, old enemies have fallen, and new ones have arisen from the ashes to threaten civilization. While the Cold War has ended, it has left in its wake a Russia more unpredictable, more unstable, and more dangerous than ever before. Grigory Rostov, a former commander in the elite Spetznaz special forces -- turned arms dealer, knows how to procure some of the former USSR's most destructive and vulnerable weaponry. Selling these next generation Weapons of Mass Destruction to his client will almost certainly precipitate a war between the US and China, opening the door for Russia to be reclaim its place as a the sole remaining superpower, and making Rostov a millionaire in the process. The only thing that can prevent Taiwan from becoming Ground Zero in the next World War: a top secret new unit within the Navy SEALs.

Some truths are written in stone. Some are buried in it.Dr. Elena Vargas was one of the most brilliant epigraphers of her generation — until she staked her name on a forgery and lost everything. Now she teaches bored undergraduates and tries not to remember who she used to be.Then a colleague sends her a photograph that shouldn't exist: a meter-tall slab of carved obsidian, unearthed in the jungles of Tabasco, its glyphs mapping something no ancient people should have been able to record — the rhythm of earthquakes, centuries before they struck.To Elena, it's the discovery of a lifetime. To Orpheus Minerals, it's a key to trillions in buried wealth — and they will raze a mountain to own it. As Elena is drawn south into a chase through cartel country and collapsing caverns, she'll have to trust the instinct that once destroyed her, protect a sister who won't stop filming, and outrun an enemy who believes some knowledge is too dangerous to survive.Because the slab isn't the only thing hidden in the dark. And someone has been erasing discoveries like this for a very long time.For readers of James Rollins, Clive Cussler, and Dan Brown.The Obsidian Codex ignites The Atlas Conspiracy — a globe-spanning saga of buried knowledge and the war to keep it hidden.
