305 pages ; 23 cm, World oil supplies are in a free-fail. Gasoline is rationing at $17 per gallon. Aqualene will cost less than a dollar if Adam Harlow can get his formula to NASA ... before Big Oil gets to him! Plagued by a looming depression, the White House quietly forms a pact with Beijing to produce a viable alternative to gasoline: A last-ditch scheme to spare the nation of total anarchy. Hidden from a scandalous energy industry, Aqualene, a remarkable water-based fuel is born deep inside a NASA laboratory. Only sabotage can explain its mysterious destruction, calling for hundreds of top minds to resurrect the complex formula. Wary of threats by vested oil interests, Seattle mineralogist Adam Harlow reluctantly joins the search. A murder inside his makeshift lab amongst the ruins of Old Seattle suggests Harlow is onto something big and that his troubles have only just begun! Can one man with a secret so vital to global stability stand up to the world's most powerful oil mogul, and avert a U.S. nuclear confrontation with China? From the bowels of Underground Seattle to the dizzy orbits of the International Space Station to the hazardous labyrinths of a covert California refinery, Aqualene ignites adventure, drama, and intrigue
