The Lost City and Its Deadly Guardians
Deep in the Congo rainforest lies a primordial wilderness that has remained largely unchanged for 60 million years. This vast expanse of green darkness hides secrets both ancient and deadly-including the mysterious lost city of Zinj, rumored to house extraordinary diamond deposits. When Earth Resources Technology Services (ERTS) sends an expedition to locate these valuable blue diamonds, they discover something far more terrifying than anticipated. The first team's satellite transmission reveals a horrifying scene: an entire camp destroyed in minutes, equipment scattered, and bodies lying in unnatural poses. Before the feed cuts out, a shadowy figure appears briefly-a gorilla, but with features unlike any documented species. The devastation represents what ERTS leader R.B. Travis calls "the worst interference signature ever"-an entire expedition wiped out in just six minutes. Mathematical prodigy Karen Ross, known as "Ross Glacier" for her precise, analytical nature, convinces Travis to let her lead a return expedition. What she doesn't reveal is the true military potential of their objective: blue diamonds whose unique electrical properties could revolutionize computer technology and weapons systems, potentially shifting the balance of global military power. In this high-stakes technological race, whoever reaches the Congo first stands to gain billions.
