The Ascension: Birth of a Phantom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996842709)

When the U.S. government loses contact with a secret research facility in Alaska, they send in an elite military unit know as Task Force X-Ray to deal with the problem. The mission starts off bad and the men find that the only way home is forward. As they travel deeper into the facility they find illegal experimentations and science gone wrong. They come across a vengeful boy with terrifying power, whose bent on destroying the world. They engage super-human supremacists who believe that the "old humanity" is inferior and must ascend. Task Force X-Ray are caught in the middle, and although the odds are stacked against them, they know that if either faction escapes, the world will never be the same.
