The shocking truth is hidden in the ruins, lost in time and doomed to oblivion, in a place known as the Devil's Colony. Deep in the Rocky Mountains, the gruesome discovery of hundreds of mummified bodies attracts international attention. Despite doubts about their origin, the local Office of Indian Cultural Heritage claims the prehistoric remains, as well as the strange objects discovered in the same cave: gold plates covered in indecipherable writing. During the riots at the site, an anthropologist is killed and burned to ashes in a fiery explosion in front of a television crew. The evidence points to a radical Native American group, including a young teenager who escapes with a vital clue to the murder and calls the only person who can help her: her uncle Painter Crowe, the director of Sigma Force. Painter starts a war between the most powerful intelligence agencies in the country to help his niece, but there is an even greater danger at stake, as events in the Rocky Mountains have set in motion a geological chain reaction that threatens the entire western half of the United States. Painter Crowe joins forces with Commander Gray Pierce to infiltrate a secret society that has been pulling the strings of American history since the founding of the first thirteen colonies. But will Painter be able to uncover the truth - which has the power to overthrow the government - before it destroys everything he holds dear?
