A CATACLYSMIC EVENT
When a massive amount of gamma radiation is detected somewhere beneath the desert of Iran, the world is on edge. Is it a nuclear weapon—or worse? Alex Hunter and his highly trained incursion team is on a mission to find out. When they arrive at the ruins of Persepolis, they find an underground facility but no lab, no weapons, no scientists—not even radiation. A black hole has taken everything…
AN ANCIENT PROPHECY
Meanwhile, Iran is preparing for the return of the prophet. Israel is threatening nuclear war. And the details about Alex’s special U.S. military venture—code name: Arcadian—have been stolen. Then another gamma spike is detected…and someone, or something, is draining the fluids from the bodies of Iranian soldiers in the desert.
A RACE AGAINST DARKNESS
Now it’s up to Alex to follow the traces of radiation all the way to the ancient caves of Arak, where he’ll come face to face with a creature from his darkest nightmares. Is it game-over for Alex and his team? Or are greater forces at work as the world reaches its natural end—and mankind casts its final judgment?

In this book, the Iranians varied from standard bad guys to evil incarnate.
That was pretty annoying. The super soldier part was unexpected.
So overall, didn't really like it and won't read any others
Dark Rising makes you feel like the author was rushed into finishing it to cache in on the success of the first book. Any attempt at character building is left to the winds and all we get is a Alien/timewarp scenario that hold some interest in the way its presented. Overall a very disappointing read and I will get off this train right here thank you very much
