The Arctic Discovery That Changed Everything

A meteorite embedded deep within the Milne Ice Shelf contains fossilized evidence of extraterrestrial life-at least that's what NASA claims. The timing couldn't be more perfect for President Zachary Herney, whose reelection campaign is floundering against Senator Sedgewick Sexton's relentless attacks on NASA's budget "waste." When intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton-the Senator's estranged daughter-is summoned by the President to authenticate this discovery, she finds herself whisked to the Arctic alongside famous oceanographer Michael Tolland and astrophysicist Corky Marlinson. The evidence seems overwhelming. The eight-ton meteorite contains numerous fossils of bug-like creatures visible to the naked eye. Carbon dating, chemical analysis, extraction location-everything points to an authentic meteorite that fell to Earth centuries ago. "This changes everything we know about life in the universe," Tolland explains, his eyes reflecting wonder and awe. Yet strange inconsistencies begin to surface. Why is there bioluminescent plankton in the extraction pit's water? How could ocean organisms reach a glacial ice shelf supposedly isolated from the sea? When glaciologist Norah Mangor discovers salt in the extraction shaft-impossible for a landlocked glacier-the team conducts ground-penetrating radar tests that reveal something horrifying: a perfectly cylindrical tunnel extending from the meteorite shaft down to the ocean below. Someone planted the meteorite from underneath.
