THE ZENITH CODE
Enormous waves and hurricane-force winds routinely topple skyscrapers and wash away homes and businesses. But the brilliant trillionaire scientist, Richard Lockett, has a plan. He teams up with his genius daughter, savvy wife and wholly unremarkable son, to create a working model of an idyllic, completely self-sustaining city a quarter mile underground. Not only that, Lockett Enterprises was about to launch a new medicine that would be the biggest scientific breakthrough since penicillin and vaccines.
Instead of receiving cheers, the Locketts and their revolutionary technologies clash with oppressive societies run by murderous warlords and terrorists. Opportunistic politicians and unethical corporations demand a piece of the action or they’ll kill off the world’s best chance of survival. Religious leaders spread horrific lies which are eagerly gobbled up and amplified by a jaded news media. The Lockett’s monumental wealth, fame, and unrivalled intellect provide little insulation from crushing personal setbacks, painful revelations, and life-threatening assaults that bring them to the brink of giving up, triggering humanity’s rapid descent into a new dark age.
Help arrives from the most unlikely sources—an unkempt Icelandic computer hacker with a penchant for fermented shark, a mute autistic woman who studies quantum physics for fun, a levelheaded young mother who can break a man’s arm in ten seconds, and an obnoxious old cat named Mr. Drizzles. The fate of the world is now up to them.
