Power Play Matthew Wieringa

Electricity is shutting off across the globe, something sinister has begun. In 1975 an unlucky salesman from a mining company transported a strange new rock specimen to a laboratory for analysis. The report was worse than he could have imagined: a groundbreaking new element that could solve the energy crisis, or be used to unleash a hellish new weapon with dire consequences for mankind. Pursued by an unknown assailant, he fled, hiding the specimen and the location of the mine, hopefully forever. Years later a Russian oligarch finds out what it can do, where it might be, and has a diabolical plan to unleash it - when the power goes out over a billion people will do anything to turn it back on. All that stands in the way are three people in the wrong place at the wrong time: a geology student named Anna, a classic car collector named Levi VanDijk . . . and his best friend, Mason Russo. From a professional auto race in Detroit to a snowmobile trek deep into snowy mountains of Colorado - from a fishing boat in the treacherous ocean waters offshore of Washington State to a car chase through Copper Country in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Power Play takes Levi and the reader on an action-packed adventure filled with danger and suspense as he risks everything to head off the coming disaster.
