Amazon Synopsis
Rogue special-operations agent McCracken has never been shy about answering the call, and this time it comes in the aftermath of a deepwater oil rig disaster that claims the life of a onetime member of his commando unit. The remnants of the rig and its missing crew lead him to the inescapable conclusion that one of the most mysterious and deadly forces in the universe is to blame: dark matter, both a limitless source of potential energy and an unimaginably destructive weapon.
Joining forces again with his trusty sidekick Johnny Wareagle, McCracken races to stop two deadly enemies who want the dark matter at all costs. A powerful energy magnate and the leader of a Japanese doomsday cult both seek the ultimate prize for their own nefarious reasons, and McCracken and Wareagle’s mission to defeat them takes the duo on a nonstop journey across the world and thousands of years into the past where the truth lies in the ancient Pandora’s Temple, built to safeguard the world’s most powerful weapon.
McCracken’s only hope to save the world is to find the mythical temple. Along the way, he and Wareagle find themselves up against Mexican drug gangs, killer robots, an army of professional assassins, and a legendary sea monster. The hero of nine previous bestselling thrillers, McCracken is used to the odds being stacked against him, but this time the stakes have never been higher.
Hott Review
I’ve always adored any fiction that has any relations to myths, legends, or history so I signed up for this tour but as you all know, I’ve been in a tremendous reading slump. So I pushed reading this book off to the last possible second… and then I couldn’t put it down! WOW!! Jon Land’s writing is tremendous. I became so entrenched in the story and characters that I just couldn’t stop reading!
He managed to pull my love of so many genres together in one book, I’m going to need to search out his other works!!

Wonderful post! Selfishly, I especially enjoyed seeing the listing of all the Blaine McCracken titles in a single place!
Thanks! I love to show people when authors are tried and true.
Sounds like a good book. A bit of a change from what I’ve been reading lately. I also really like these kinds of books, just haven’t read any in awhile. Thanks for reviewing.
