As the rain lashed against the cracked foundation of the Meridian Spire, Elias didn’t reach for a high-end laptop or a satellite-linked tablet. He reached for "The Beast." The spine was taped, the pages were dog-eared, and the scent of old paper and graphite was the only thing keeping his panic at bay.

The binding of the Handbook of Civil Engineering Calculations (3rd Edition) was thick enough to stop a bullet, but Elias Thorne used it to stop a building from falling instead. Handbook of Civil Engineering Calculations 3rd ...

The Spire was a glass-and-steel marvel, but a hidden fault line—one ignored by the developers—was causing the sub-basements to moan like a dying giant. The automated sensors had failed, fried by a power surge. The backup generators were submerged. As the rain lashed against the cracked foundation
