However, an unforeseen turn of events urges Sam to accept a freelance writing job offered by none other than Jefferson Daniels, the world remowned explorer with whom he shared their first terrifying expediton to Antarctica in search of Ice Station Wolfenstein a year or two earlier ... to write a book on an organization called FireStorm. [He] is suddenly immersed into a world of social manipulation ... [With] Dave Purdue and Nina Gould [he is] about to discover just how deep FireStorm intends to take their initiates."--Page 4 of cover.
