I will start out this story by first saying that Casper is just fine. Happy and healthy. Now we can proceed without worry. I knew it was going to happen. Casper eats everything. How he hasn’t been rushed to the emergency vet yet is truly a miracle. Yesterday was his day though. I took a short nap after work for only an hour, while the fur babies played in the backyard. I woke up, went to the backdoor, and was not greeted by my sweet little white doggie, but instead by a mutant, whose head had bright red skin and twice the normal size of my sweet pup. It was the saddest looking creature I had ever seen. I grabbed him, put him in the crate and drove him to the emergency vet that was thankfully only 10 minutes away. He was alert the entire time, but extremely uncomfortable and twitchy. I knew exactly what he had done. He ate a bee. My sweet ladies are all over the garden and he has been trying to catch one for weeks. The fact that he hasn’t caught one yet is a testament to his terrible hunting skills. Bees are not exactly fast and graceful, and if you are playing just a numbers game, he really should have caught one way before yesterday. Two little shots later and he was good as new. Well… not exactly, he still looked like a tomato, but he was at least on the road to recovery. This morning he is back to his same crazy self. I wonder if he learned his lesson.

* * *
Off the coast of Antarctica, a research vessel discovers a mysterious structure buried deep within an iceberg. It has been there for thousands of years, and something is guarding it. Could it be the fabled city of Atlantis? Or is it something more dangerous?
At the same moment, in Jakarta, Indonesia, a brilliant geneticist named Kate Warner has just discovered a breakthrough treatment for autism. Or so she thinks. What she has found is far more deadly–for her and for the entire human race. Her work could unleash the next stage of human evolution. It might also hold the key to unlocking the mysterious structure off the coast of Antarctica.
On the other side of Jakarta, Agent David Vale is racing to uncover a conspiracy with far-reaching implications. But he’s out of time. His informant inside the conspiracy is dead. His own organization has been infiltrated–and his enemy has turned the hunt on him. Now he’s on the run. But when he receives a coded message related to an imminent attack, he risks everything to save the one person that can help him stop it: Dr. Kate Warner.
Together, Kate and David race to unravel a global conspiracy and learn the truth about the Atlantis Gene… and human origins. Their journey takes them to the far corners of the globe and into the secrets of their pasts. Their enemy is close on their heels and will stop at nothing to obtain Kate’s research and force the next stage of human evolution–even if it means killing 99.9% of the world’s population. David and Kate can stop them… if they can trust each other. And stay alive.
