The Alex Cave Series Dead Energy, Cold Energy, Red Energy

Dead Energy. When geophysics instructor and former CIA operative Alex Cave responds to a mysterious mayday in Puget Sound, he boards an oil tanker—only to find it empty and abandoned. As more tankers vanish and an Alaska pipeline station mysteriously fails, Alex realizes these events are connected by an unseen force… one capable of draining millions of barrels of crude oil in minutes and leaving death in its wake. With governments on edge and global energy supplies collapsing, Alex partners with chemical specialist Christa Avery to uncover the truth. But a charismatic cult leader and his followers may already hold the key to a world-changing power—one they intend to use at any cost. Cold Energy. When billionaire explorer Mike Tanner deploys a new deep-ocean ultrasound system, his crew uncovers something impossible— a massive slab of methane hydride mixed with atmospheric chemicals that should not exist at the bottom of the sea. Across the continent, Alex is called in to investigate. The anomalies don't match earthquakes. They don't match anything on record. And when Alex connects the disasters to a sudden two-hundred-meter rise in the Arctic ice sheet, one truth becomes clear: Something beneath Earth's crust has awakened. Now, as oceans freeze in minutes and the planet transforms at terrifying speed, Alex teams up with a rogue volcanologist, a glaciologist in crisis, and Tanner's research team to uncover the source—an ancient alien technology buried deep below the planet's tectonic plates. But every attempt to understand it unleashes another disaster. And the next one could end the world. Red Energy. When Alex investigates a mysterious seismic event on a remote Alaskan island, he uncovers a forgotten alien spacecraft and a technology capable of altering the planet's natural systems. But Alex isn't the only one who knows about it.
