The Seventh Sun

The Seventh Sun is Kent Lester's breathtaking debut edge-of-your-seat thriller drawing on complex science and deep-sea biology

When a marine geologist is thrown overboard from a cargo ship off the Honduran coast, scientist Dan Clifford teams up with Rachel Sullivan, a brilliant marine biologist and submersible pilot, to unravel the mysterious clues the dead man left behind. They discover a global conspiracy involving illegal, undersea activity. A primordial secret, disturbed by these dangerous acts, is wreaking havoc on aquatic life and the local human population, endangering not just Honduras, but the United States.

When the threat is revealed, the U.S. President activates a top secret threat interdiction team made up of members of the Centers for Disease Control and military experts in weapons of mass destruction. Meanwhile, Dan and Rachel race to unravel the mystery in the murky depths before it triggers the world's next mass extinction event, the Seventh Sun of ancient myth.
