The Ninth Volume

While drilling for oil on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains in the year 1998, geologist John Perk is amazed by the reddish dust drawn up from 19,967 feet. When it reaches the earth’s surface, the dust evaporates. Reaching through caves the spot where the drilling stopped, Perk is even more astonished by what he sees: a modern house encased in rock with bedrooms, bathroom, books, even a TV set, all of which he figures must be over 12 billion years old.

A geologist accidentally makes the fabulous discovery of a modern residence buried underneath the rocks for twelve billion years. This structure also houses a nine volume history of the world that also encapsulates the present (1998) and the future of our world. But the ninth volume is lost and he must find it before the deadline.

A rock scientist stumbles upon an amazing find - a present-day house trapped under stone for twelve billion years.
