The Communication Labyrinth

Strange events under the Antarctic ice shelves plunge earth’s nations into a predicament and the world's superpowers are clueless about what they are up against. In a remote region of the planet, strange occurrences grab an ice researcher’s attention. The ensuing events cause Russian leaders to seek out a grieving widow who spends her days caring for houseplants; they ask her to save Mother Russia from destruction. British and German officials are stumped by strange messages to average citizens, unsure what to do next. On the other side of the Atlantic, American naval commanders implore a potato chip loving civilian to pull off the impossible. As the crisis grows, the human ability to communicate is found lacking and society's capacity for compromise is tried. The dilemma causes ordinary people to become vital specialists and the ordeal tests limits they were unaware they had. These once average individuals are asked to unite the globe's diverse cultures and confront an unknown foe, or modern civilization will come to an end.
