A hidden world beneath Moscow sealed away. A Hindi captured against his will. A young woman tempted and spirited aloft by an unknown force. And a megalomaniac establishing a scheme of vengeance. So begins the adventure of a lifetime...All Horatio Smith, a renowned inventor-extraordinaire, wanted was a little peace and stability in his life. But all that changes when he is asked forth by the cabal he had once been a part of. His help is needed to figure out the truth towards the resurrection of an ancient weapon from Russia's past: the Crystal Beam. Immediately declining, he quickly discovers by chance that an arch-nemesis, long believed defeated, has survived. And so, the mastermind, and his assistant, Douglas Scott, spring into action. Their journey will take them from the streets of India, to the frozen steppes of the Soviet tundra. And as the forces of good and evil gather and plot, a quest for the ultimate power shall reveal a common truth: a single mind's yearning for revenge.
