The end to end all ends: The epic finale to the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling TUNNELS series! Total Termination of the English: The Styx and their lethal cohorts of Armagi will settle for nothing less. Not even the mighty US military is strong enough to stop the assault! Will and Elliott flee back underground, down to the innards of the Earth first mapped in DEEPER and FREEFALL. With the support of a small team that survived the plague of New Germania, they discover a secret at the site of the three core pyramids. A secret that may explain not only where the Styx came from, but the human race, too. Can Elliott, with her mixed blood, unlock the clues before Earth itself spins out of orbit? All the many threads of the prior TUNNELS books come together in this epic conclusion! There was a flash, and Elliott was pitched backward onto the floor of the chamber as if she'd received an electric shock. "No!" Will shouted, rushing to her side. "Are you okay?" She closed her fingers into a fist and then splayed them open again. "I'm fine. Doesn't hurt at all," she replied with some surprise. "But that was really weird." The floor of the chamber shook.

With the howl of displaced air, the ceiling above them disappeared, the walls disintegrated, and they were flooded with sunlight. Shielding his eyes from the glare, Will had an uninterrupted view of the clear sky. "What?" he gasped. It seemed as though a giant wave was moving away from them, a cloud of stone fragments and dust sweeping through the giant trees of the jungle.
