Soon Errol's on the run from mad scientists and homeland security death squads, and befriended by creatures that are the stuff of nightmares. Plunging into a series of stunning revelations, he must uncover the hidden tragedy of his family's past and penetrate the depths of an earth-shaking, ancient enigma to determine the fate of the entire world.
