When she receives a mysterious invitation to work as an intern at the secretive Monmouth Project, twenty-one-year-old NICOLA SPENCER feels sure that their claim—that the facility is headquartered in a deep-sea military base—must be a hoax.
What she finds down there—the real agenda of the ‘above-top-secret’ black project—is bigger than she could have imagined. NICOLA is soon assigned to work on a faster-than-light craft known as the Nox. But she must grapple with the demands of her conscience when she witnesses another engineer murdered before he can expose the base’s biggest secret. To find out the nature of this deadly secret, NICOLA must infiltrate the ‘Red Zone,’ the innermost sector of the base. Even as she downloads critical evidence of the leadership’s dark agenda, her only route of escape is suddenly blocked, forcing her to risk a death-defying escape.
