Cover blurb:
A fifty year old secret will not die. Renowned nuclear
weapons researcher, Dr. Gregory, is not only dead -
he's been charred to a radioactive cinder in his laboratory
at the Edward Teller Nuclear Research Facility near Oakland,
California. Since this is a death on Federal property,
Mulder and Scully are hastily called in. As FBI agents who
specialise in unexplained phenomena, they are the investigators
of the "X-Files", strange and inexplicable cases which are also
mysteries that the FBI doesn't want solved.
As Mulder and Scully begin their frustrating work,
they confront a tight-lipped federal bureaucracy whose
job it is to stop questions before they are asked. One by
one, Mulder and Scully hit dead ends, closed security clearances
and classified documents no one wants them to see.
But that doesn't stop them from ripping the lid off
Dr. Gregory's illegal project - a new type of flash
nuclear explosive that has all the destructive power
of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, but with a new design
that leaves virtually no radioactive fallout. As
they feverishly work to uncover why Dr. Gregory and
two others unrelated to his research have died, it becomes
clear that this twisted puzzle has fatal consequences for
the entire world.
