Kratos. The Gliese Project, #2

This is Book Two of The Gliese Project, a four-book series. Dr. Sarah Chambers, Dr. Haneefah Baqri, and Dr. Raza Ahuja, all technically-oriented Ph. Ds. with a different set of skills, first met at a job fair sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley. Their meeting was unplanned and in many respects, coincidental. As a result, however, they were drawn together in an unlikely alliance by a mysterious set of circumstances that was set into motion by an equally mysterious employer who was only identified as "HETC." They were, as a team, offered very lucrative, month-long engagements which involved doing research at HETC's isolated, underground headquarters located in the California desert near the Nevada border.
This, their second assignment, was to reverse-engineer a technology called "magnet pulse motor generator, " or MPMG, which had been discovered in and extracted from a salvaged UFO. The project itself was called "Kratos" after the Greek god of power. All this was done under the umbrella of one of HETC's four main projects - The Gliese Project - which was focused on Energy Technologies. Their research culminated in startling conclusions, but the experiences they had during their stay at the underground facility left them with more questions than answers.
