Port Of Shadows

Author: Cook, Glen
A lot of things happened in back rooms, dark corners and out of the way places before the civil authorities became involved. Even when a young girl walked into the Department of Police to report an incident involving a corporate vehicle, it wasn't readily apparent that anything other than a routine accident investigation was necessary. A surveillance photograph taken at the time provided a crucial link to a gigantic desert menace called, "The Shadow Zone." . . . this was only the newest incident in a long war between shadows. An intriguing novel.
