ANTARCTICA, 1971. THEY BUILT SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE FOUND. NOW, 25 YEARS LATER, SOMEONE IS KILLING TO KEEP IT BURIED.
Former Green Beret Dave Riley is drowning in grief. Three days ago, Chicago cop Donna Giannini-the woman he loved-walked into a robbery and took a shotgun blast to the chest. She died returning fire, and Riley's plans for a new life died with her. When his old commander Colonel Mike Pike offers him work to escape the pain, Riley jumps at it. Just keep me busy. Just don't let me think.
But the job Pike hands him isn't simple security work. A records clerk named Sammy Pintella has stumbled onto something that wasn't supposed to exist: photos of "Eternity Base," a secret installation built in Antarctica in 1971 by an Army engineer company that officially spent those four months in Vietnam. Someone kidnapped Sammy, drugged her, and planned to kill her.
Now people are dying across the country. Professional hits. The kind that scream government black ops. And when Sammy's sister Conner, an investigative reporter, heads to Antarctica chasing the story, Riley and Pike realize this isn't about protecting witnesses-it's about stopping a cover-up that's been running for twenty-five years.
What was Eternity Base? Why did an entire C-130 crew die in a mysterious crash after their final mission there? What cargo was so secret it required executing everyone who knew about it? And who's willing to kill an entire team of investigators to keep it hidden under the ice?
As Riley leads an unauthorized expedition to the most remote and hostile environment on Earth, he's racing against killers who've had 25 years to perfect their security. The Antarctic winter is closing in. Temperatures plunge to 70 below. Blizzards can bury a base in minutes. And somewhere under the ice lies a secret so explosive that powerful forces will commit mass murder to protect it.
ETERNITY BASE is an explosive military thriller from Bob Mayer combining conspiracy, Cold War secrets, and survival action in the world's most unforgiving environment. Perfect for fans of James Rollins, Matthew Reilly, and high-stakes adventure where the truth is buried deeper than anyone imagined-and colder than death itself.
