Could the founding of America be based on a fundamental lie, one
coded in secrets that stretch back before the birth of Christ, to a
mystery buried in the prehistoric past? The truth lies hidden
within the ruins of a lost colony of the Americas, vanished in time
and cursed into oblivion. A placeknown only as THE DEVIL COLONY
Deep in the Rocky Mountains, a gruesome discovery-hundreds of
mummified bodies-stir international attention and fervent
controversy. Despite doubts to the bodies' origins, a local
Native American group lays claim to the prehistoric remains, along
with the strange artifacts found in the same cavern: gold plates
inscribed with an untathomable script. During a riot at the dig
site, an anthropologist dies horribly: burned to ash in a fiery
explosion in plain view of television cameras. All evidence points
to a radical group of Native Americans, including one agitator, a
teenage firebrand who escapes with a vital clue to the murder and
calls on the one person who might help: her uncle, Painter Crowe,
director of Sigma Force.
