On a stormy night in 1937, the German zeppelin Hindenburg
cuts through the clouds over rural New Jersey. On board, a madman has
traveled across the Atlantic bearing a safe holding a secret so terrible
that it may change the course of history. His efforts to protect his
cargo have led him to commit murder, but the most dangerous part of the
journey still remains -- the arrival at Lakehurst Naval Air Station. In a
moment of clear thinking, the murderer throws the safe overboard,
thinking that he will return for it later. The conflagration at landing
destroys that plan and the safe recedes into history.
Seven decades later, mining engineer Philip Mercer is in the Central
African Republic searching for a precious metal used in the manufacture
of cell phones. In the face of a mounting civil war, Mercer tries to
help local villagers escape from rebel forces. Along the way, he meets
up with Cali Stone, an attractive field researcher for the CDC. This
particular village suffers from one of the highest rates of cancer in
the world. All that saves them from execution at the hands of the rebel
troops is the intervention of an unknown military force. Once back in
the states, Mercers detective work leads him to the long-lost safe and
the cryptic letter inside: Dear Albert, I believe I have succeeded. The element you seek does exist in nature.
This letter launches Mercer on the most spectacular adventure of his
career, one that will leave a nation in flames and a city in ruin, and
reveal the truth behind three thousand years of legend.
