It is called zero point energy, and it really exists -- a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and thus all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap into it, however -- until one scientist discovers a way. Or at least he thinks he has. The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other is submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin...
