“Alex Cordell was jumping to conclusions.” So opens The Pandora Trust. Alex is a technician sent out to a drilling site to investigate why his company’s ground penetrating radar units are reporting nothing but sand and rock, but the drill heads keep shredding on something solid. Alex realizes that there is nothing wrong with the units, there really is something down there – something that doesn’t want to be found. Overnight he finds himself stuck between two groups trying to get control of it – the U.S. Air Force and an international crime syndicate.
