Synopsis

"Heir to a mining dynasty, geologist Paul Reece has chosen a simple life over the scheming opportunism of the International Mining Corporation. But when IMC approaches him about their mysterious discovery miles beneath the rain forest, Paul is compelled to set aside the sordid events that drove him from his legacy. For the project requires not only a brilliant engineer but one gutsy enough to descend 20,000 feet of solid rock--into the heart of a miracle. With Paul's expertise, IMC can unearth a windfall--unless Paul decides to bury them first."--p. [4] of cover.
