Echoes of Ancient Times Nikolas Lain

All she wanted was to learn about her long-lost father. And she did. Those were the thirties of the twenty-first century... A young reporter from a reputable news agency receives an assignment to investigate a series of inexplicable military tragedies. At the same time, an unprecedented mobilization of the entire US Armed Forces is underway. Is this just a necessary drill, a way to divert public attention, or is something much more sinister going on? Consequently, other nations are mobilizing too, tensions are piling up, and fingers are starting to be pointed at the standard whipping boys. Nevertheless, things are not so simple, and a small expert group is saddled with the responsibility of finding out what stands behind these disasters before the accusations escalate into direct confrontation. But, is it possible to convince anyone, especially military leadership, of the existence of mighty ancient Hindu weapons under the control of a fanatic terrorist? And not only that, but also persuade them that magical words, which we take for granted, have a scientific basis in a dark reality, with origins dating back to the distant and forgotten past?Luckily for them, and us, in moments when the future of the world hangs by a thread, when total nuclear war must be avoided at all costs, people intelligent enough to dismiss deep-rooted prejudices and accept harsh reality, no matter how fantastic it may sound, appear. Thus, the group receives orders from the president himself to find the only person in the world capable of incapacitating the terrorist and saving the city we all love... And in the end, when ancient weapons collide, when the dust settles, and when all is said and done, we cannot help but wonder if the path we are all taking has not already been crossed...and to the bitter end...
