6 The Clackamas Print Wednesday, January 17,1996 ‘Ground Zero’ a hit with X-files readers Feature tw . iWtfW Brendon Neal Opinion Editor “Ground Zero” by Kevin J. Anderson continues the standard of X-Files excellence, while light ening the mood. When Dr. Gregory, a nuclear scientist in charge of a top secret project, is found incinerated in a room with high levels of radiation, agents Mulder and Scully are called in to investigate the strange death/murder. They are in charge of the X- Files. The X-Files are cases that are unexplainable by normal sci entific theories such as magic, aliens and other even more bizarre events. The project the scientist was working on is top secret and the agents are not allowed to see much of the evidence. Just as they become thoroughly frustrated, two more, nuclear deaths are discov ered, the victims apparently unre lated to nuclear research. The book first focuses on the project. It is discovered that “Bright Anvil” is a nuclear bomb that when ready will be capable of doing the same damage of a nor mal nuke but with no radioactive fallout. As horrifying to the agents as these new facts are, they soon find themselves going from science gone bad to the possibility of the livingdead. The island where the test for the project is to occur is the loca tion of the eradication of all but one member of an entire race of Indians. Evidence begins to build that the one survivor may be in volved in the murders although the question of how quickly bothers Scully, who is skeptic the of the twosome. “Ground Zero” is an excellent book. Whether you arc a fan of the television show or the previous books you will enjoy this book. It walks the fine line so that believ ers in the paranormal and non-be lievers can enjoy the book, the two Sides evenly represented by N^ulder and Scully with their op posing views.
