Dr. Jennifer Bently recently completed her government residency obligation as a physician for the American Indians near their Nevada reservation. After being selected to do genetic research for the federal government, Jennifer is excited about this new chapter in her future, even though it will take place at a secret military installation.

When Jennifer arrives at a U.S. Air Force base to be briefed, she is unprepared for the seemingly sci-fi specifics of her new job. General Dan Graves informs her that she will be conducting medical research on the genetics of extraterrestrials. Both excited at the positive possibilities and the potential fallout, Jennifer travels to the military base confident that she can use her skills to make a difference in the world of science.

But the underground installation in the Mojave Desert is nothing like she expected, and what was once a place full of promise becomes a chamber of unspeakable horrors. Now, Jennifer and General Graves must fight to keep the deadly secret-that could very well threaten the entire world- buried deep beneath the desert floor.
