Impact
by Douglas Preston
What looks like a meteor streaks the East coast and lands off the coast of Maine. Meanwhile on the other side of the Earth, rare yellow diamonds are found. But these diamonds are deadly radioactive. Wyman Ford, ex-CIA agent, is sent to confirm the existence of the yellow diamond mine. Ford nearly loses his life freeing the enslaved local tribes who are working the mine. Ford knows that he has been sent on a wild goose chase, since the mine had to be visible to reconnaissance satellites. Ford follows another lead to the National Jet Propulsion Lab. There he finds a convenient suicide that may have been a murder. A stolen top secret computer hard drive gives Ford more clues. He then visits the site of the meteor crash and gets help from an unlikely source. Now he has the information that he needs to save the Earth from destruction!
Great beach read!
