About the Book

This is a story about a Desert Storm era photo-interpreter named Jerry Simmons, who discovers a large mass of metal residing in an isolated area in the eastern Rocky Mountains near Palmer Lake, Colorado. It is a retelling of his adventures to locate the metal on the ground after it was spotted from the air above, and the search through the pages of history to find out why the metal blob was there in the first place.
