FORGOTTEN SECRETS UNLEASH A RISING DARKNESS IN THE WORLD

The Demon Core—history records that the third and final plutonium core meant for Hiroshima was destroyed nearly a century ago. But history is wrong, and now the core reemerges in the hands of a rising power, a man bent on the destruction of the modern world.

When the Governor of New York is murdered, the terrorists make two demands: Show the world the contents of Fort Knox, and step down from power—or the Demon Core will wipe Washington, DC from the map.

Dr. Dan Kotler and Agent Roland Denzel are tasked with hunting down the history of the Demon Core, and to track the man who stole it in his bid for vengeance.

Will they find the truth in time to save the world from a fiery holocaust?

The Demon Core is the 12th Dan Kotler Archaeological Thriller.

Some secrets should stay buried.

Climate scientist Evan Calder was murdered seven years ago. So how did he just send a letter to the FBI?

FBI Agent Roland Denzel is pulled into a mystery that defies logic—and threatens the balance of the world itself.

To unravel it, he turns to Dr. Dan Kotler—brilliant archaeologist, relentless investigator, and a man with a habit of finding trouble where history and the modern world collide.

The trail leads to a powerful biotech empire, a missing manuscript page tied to the ancient Chinese figure Shen Nong, and a classified experiment known only as The Lovelock Protocol.

What Kotler and Denzel uncover is more than a conspiracy.

It’s a weapon.

A way to control the weather… and reshape the fate of nations.

Now, hunted by forces willing to kill to get their hands on this technology, Kotler and Denzel must race to decode a secret lost thousands of years ago—before someone turns the Earth itself into a tool of war.

Because if the protocol is real…

Whoever controls the Earth Engine, controls everything.
