The Element of Our Salvation David Lee Russell

While boring a bullet train tunnel in the mountains of Switzerland, men discover a strange dark green rock-like material that cannot be penetrated. The project engineer turns to a Geneva University professor and his lovely assistant to research what to do. Struggling, the professor calls for help from an American university professor and advanced laser expert, and the father of a courageous Navy Seal. In the peaceful coastal resort of Marbella, Spain, an Arab shipping magnate relaxes with his newly militant son on his luxury yacht. The lives of these two men from vastly different circumstances are forever changed when their sons both die in the same nuclear event in Iraq. Each of these mourning fathers takes altered paths towards their new destiny. One will seek peace, while the other will use his wealth and resources to seek revenge through nuclear destruction. The strange dark green rock is ultimately discovered to have incredible physical properties. Once the power of The Element is revealed, Russian agents frantically race through Europe seeking to grab it for their own designs. This European-centered thriller engages the intelligence and military services of the US, UK, Italy and Spain as they struggle to find the nuclear weapons from Iran. This is a story of good and evil as the world is confronted with the terror of nuclear weapons and evil terrorists, as men of peace strive to save mankind from their horrific designs.
