The Black Pyramid of Alaska

In 1992, seismic waves from a documented underground nuclear test in China helped scientists study a vast natural formation near the boundary between Earth's mantle and core beneath northern Alaska. Years later, a former military officer recalled seeing a television report claiming that the same test had revealed something very different:An enormous pyramid buried beneath the Alaskan wilderness.No recording of that alleged broadcast has ever been recovered.The Black Pyramid of Alaska begins where the documented record ends.Decades after the test, scientist Lena Sorensen detects a second signal-one originating much closer to the surface. It repeats every seven seconds from beneath an abandoned Cold War relay station. Before Lena can determine its source, the station loses contact and she disappears.A specialized recovery team enters the frozen wilderness searching for answers. Beneath the ice, they uncover NIGHTGLASS, a classified program that began investigating the signal years before the pyramid story became public.What waits below is not simply a buried monument. It is an interface capable of altering distance, imitating familiar voices, and transforming human expectations into apparent reality. As a former NIGHTGLASS operative attempts to activate a larger network, the team must distinguish scientific evidence from manufactured mythology-and truth from the answers they desperately want to believe.This fully illustrated, research-grounded revised edition features original full-page artwork accompanying all thirty chapters. Inspired by documented seismic research, Alaska's Cold War history, and the enduring legend of a missing broadcast, it presents a tighter speculative thriller about hidden experiments, scientific uncertainty, cultural responsibility, and the dangerous distance between evidence and belief.
