The Searchers, Book Two: Empire of Dust (The Searchers, No 2)

Plot

Laika Harris, Tony Luciano and Joseph Stein are the Searchers -- deep cover government agents directed by a man they dare not trust, exploring phenomena they cannot fathom. Now their hunt for the mysterious entity known as the Prisoner is leading them to a dessicated corpse in the Southwestern desert...and into the deadly midst of violent fanatics who are determined to set the enigmatic captive free. The Searchers are as close as a heartbeat to their quarry. But in this mericless place of ancient cultures and strange, mystical traditions, the echoing canyons form an inescapable labyrinth in which revelations, betrayals and death wait around every turn. For the Prisoner may be more -- much more -- than his hunters dream. And because of that, the most powerful forces on Earth are grearing up for the ultimate confrontation -- one that no mere mortal can stop...or survive.
