This is Book Three of The Gliese Project, a four-book series.

Dr. Sarah Chambers, Dr. Haneefah Baqri, and Dr. Raza Ahuja, all technically-oriented Ph.Ds. with a different set of skills, first met at a job fair sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley. Their meeting was unplanned and in many respects, coincidental. As a result, however, they were drawn together in an unlikely alliance by a mysterious set of circumstances that was set into motion by an equally mysterious employer who was only identified as "HETC."

They were, as a team, offered very lucrative, month-long engagements which involved doing research at HETC's isolated, underground headquarters located in the California desert near the Nevada border. This, their third assignment, was to reverse-engineer a technology called "electrogravitics." It was used as a propulsion system so the project was called "Aeolus," the Greek god of the winds. This was also discovered and extracted from the salvaged UFO, but this time, they would have some "expert" help to guide them.

All this was done under the umbrella of one of HETC's four main projects — The Gliese Project — which was focused on Energy Technologies.

Their research culminated in startling conclusions, but the experiences they had during their stay at the underground facility left them with more questions than answers.
