Cauldron of Hell — Nick Carter

TO HELL AND BACK

The Mukhino tribesmen refer to it as the cauldron of hell -- and it's the site of agent N3's next mission.

THE LOCATION: the highly inaccessible Amur River section of Chinese Manchuria, the border between China and Russia and the site of a large crater made by a recent meteorite fall.

THE MISSION: get into the meteorite's core and bring back Lidanium, an element highly absorbent of radioactivity and both powerful and priceless to its possessor.

And the race is on, but suddenly trusted friends become deadly enemies as Nick Carter discovers the race has been fixed and he can't possibly win -- or escape!
