Deep below a desolate Utah mountain lays the largest platinum deposit ever discovered. A billion-dollar find, it waits for any company that can drill a world's record, three-mile-deep mine shaft.

EarthCore is the company with the technology, the resources and the guts to go after the mother lode. Young executive Connell Kirkland is the company's driving force, pushing himself and those around him to uncover the massive treasure.

But Kirkland and EarthCore are not the first to find this treasure. The mountain's history reveals two centuries of disappearances, murder, and insanity.

The discovery of ancient platinum knives, razor-sharp despite lying untouched for 1,000 years, reveals evidence of an ancient culture. If the artifacts are genuine, they show a pre-historic empire that once spanned from the Southern tip of South America all the way up through the American Southwest.

Wealth and fame lie under that Utah mountain, but at three miles below the surface, where the rocks are so hot they burn bare skin, something has been waiting for centuries. Waiting ... and guarding. Kirkland and EarthCore are about to find out first-hand why this treasure has never been unearthed.

This was the book that hooked me on to Sigler. Good, solid horror-sciffy.

Hey Scott, I was captivated with Earthcore but I am really hanging out for Earthcore 2. I have heard your intro to Earthcore 2 but that was it. What's happening? I am left salivating for the followup. Is there a time frame that we can look forward to? I really enjoy all your books. I am a podcast freak, given that I cant read normal print, I really depend on podcasts for my entertainment. Hope to hear from you soon. Robin in Australia.

It was relentless - like a roller coaster without the ups. I listened to it at work - great, and in the car - bad idea. Am I the only one that would actually enjoy being tortured by Kayla Meyers?! However yet again the world is saved by good old US fire power with the help of a coalition of willing but expendable international characters - sound familiar? You have no idea how corny this sounds to anyone who lives in the real world, especially in view of recent history. Still certainly worth some cash and I look forwards to experiencing another of your ripping yarns. Oh yes as always I get very picky about lapses in internal logic and bad science. Couple of examples - Why leave a perfect rectangle on the surface of the earth when you are trying to hide? Cool suits would have had to radiate heat probably from a panel on the backpack. I suggest you run your rough drafts past a couple of obsessive anoraks like me next time. Keep up the good work. Danny
