by Susan L. Willshire

Book Image Not Available Book Image Not Available
Overview
A cupel is a dish used in alchemy to separate lead from gold. How would you separate an elite team from the rest if the fate of the world was in your hands? Expert physicists have done just that in this tale of a team of ten recruits who struggle to clutch their grasp on reality as surprising twists and turns continue right to the end. Unknowingly monitored and followed for years prior, the team is relied on in ways they cannot fully understand. Once at the training compound, a rigorous schedule and intensive training program quickly become their new way of life. With every turn as the ground shifts beneath them, all they thought they knew is just a shred of the truth. Not told of their mission, shock radiates when it is revealed that they must fix an error by the leaders of a world-wide experiment that has endangered the entire planet of Earth. One woman, left behind, must still lead a dangerous mission in the jungles of Africa, and unknowingly still has a role to play in the fates of... the Cupel Recruits. Reminiscent of classic science fiction, but with modern-day action, new theories in almost every area of science will surely engage philosophical individuals who like to think their way through a book.
