by Chet Williamson
Empire of Dust (The Searchers #2) by Chet Williamson
Unrated

Laika Harris, Tony Luciano, and Joseph Stein are the Searchers – deep cover government operatives directed by a man they dare not trust, exploring phenomena they cannot fathom. Now their hunt for the mysterious entity known as The Prisoner is leading them to a dessicated corpse in the Southwestern desert – and directly into the midst of violent fanatics who are determined to set the enigmatic captive free. But this merciless place of ancient cultures and strange, mystical canyons may be a death trap for the dedicated trio. For The Prisoner may be much more than his hunters could ever dream. And because of that, the most powerful forces on Earth are gearing up for the ultimate confrontation – one that no mere mortal can stop... or survive.
