The Discovery: A Sean Henderson Book

Approximately 4.54 billion years ago, during the formation of this blue-green planet Earth, wormholes appeared in space near the forming planet. These wormholes allowed matter from a connected alternate universe to flow into our universe. The matter gradually formed a solid sphere and the force of gravity drew the sphere inexorably toward its traveling companion. Approximately 400 million years ago, the sphere, with a mass of hundreds of thousands of tons, plunged through Earth's primordial atmosphere, broke apart and impacted various areas around the globe where it remained undiscovered until the early 21st century. Some strange ore is discovered in a worked-out silver mine and a project is initiated at the Thorny research institute to investigate its properties. The project was headed by the Institute's new and beautiful Director of Mineralogy, Dr. Jill Cramer, . The material was later dubbed "Q-LITHIUM". Q-LITHIUM exhibited several unique properties of such a nature as to have a significant impact on the world's standard of living and threatened to upend known science and technology. The reasons for all of this are discovered in a surprising twist of science. Sean Henderson (Director of the Institute) and Jill fall for each other over an extended 4th of July weekend at Sean's spectacular home in Incline Village at Lake Tahoe in an intriguing and sensual encounter. An unscrupulous business cabal and the Department of the Navy take interest in the new element. The cabal mounts many daring efforts, including kidnapping, to steal the Q-LITHIUM ore and related research data. The Department of the Navy attempts a take-over of the Q-LITHIUM project with interesting results. New properties of the element constantly reveal themselves and the Q-LITHIUM Advisory Council (QAC) is formed to decide the fate of this otherworldly element that has become so precious on Earth. A surprising ally appears to aid Sean's fight against the Navy. Between the two antagonists-the Navy and the cabal-Sean, Jill and the rest of the QAC team are whipsawed through various ingenious plots to gain control of the element. A secret Q-LITHIUM research and production facility is established by the cabal. This facility is discovered and taken out of action in a strange battle using new Q-LITHIUM weapons. The conclusion is unexpected and fascinating This genre-bending novel is replete with human interaction, humor, romance, action, science and surprises.
