The Golden Crystal

In 1791, two men began planning the layout for the nation€s capitol city. One is shunned and resigns in disgrace, and the other is all but forgotten. Years later, an original copy of the plans€“long thought to have been destroyed€“ is found, with hastily marked notations by Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.

During the second World War, American military scientists discover some fascinating properties of the hydrogen atom and its link to an ancient mystical number. The exact findings are never published, but a national laboratory is built in 1943 to further their research in covert silence. America is told it is a defense project, code-named €˜The Manhattan Project.€

An ego-maniacal entrepreneur and his company, Vilocorp, will stop at nothing to build the €œperfect€ human specimen. His firm€s research has been getting closer every day, but they seem to have uncovered a horrific, ancient secret that has been locked away for thousands of years.

Now, it€s up to Bryce to understand the mystery surrounding the events and ancient symbolism before Vilocorp unleashes a hellish fury upon the earth; one that hasn€t been seen for ages€¦

The station has been abandoned for over thirty years, and no one knows what to expect when they get there.

As they learn more about the station, however, they find out there's something the base is trying to hide -- something that could prove devastating for the rest of the world...

The Enigma Strain

When a bomb goes off at Yellowstone National Park, threatening the stability of the world's largest active volcano, the reclusive park ranger Harvey "Ben" Bennett is startled to realize that the blast itself wasn't the only threat: the bomb released a virus into the air, and the outbreak is beginning to infect and kill more and more people.

Ben teams up with Juliette Richardson, a driven CDC agent working inside the newly-formed BTR (Biological Threat Research) team, to find the people behind the act of terrorism.

When the attacks get personal, Ben and Julie take it upon themselves to seek out and destroy the threat before it's too late.
