Opening the X-Files...

assigned to keep him in line.
Their job: investigate the eeriest unsolved mysteries in modern
America, from pyro-psychics to death row demonics, from rampaging
Sasquatches to alien invasions. The cases the Bureau wants handled
quietly, but quickly, before the public finds out what's *really* out
there. And panics. The cases filed under "X"

UNNATURAL DISASTERS
Serial killers come in all shapes and sizes.But this one is
particularly puzzling.There's no patters to the mutilated bodies that
have been showing up in Phoenix: both sexes, all races, ages, ethnic
groups. There is no evidence of rape or ritual.
Only one thing connects the victims.
They were victims of a natural disaster. One of the most *unnatural*
natural disasters imaginable, leading to a most painful, most certain,
and most hideous death....
An announced third book from Grant, _Hunter_, was dropped from the list
and will not be published.

A renowned nuclear weapons researcher is not only dead - he's been
charred to a radioactive cinder. The incinerated remnants or Dr.
Gregory are found curled in the corner of his laboratory at the Edward
Teller Nuclear Research Facility near Oakland, California.
Since this is a death on Federal property, Mulder and Scully are
hastily called in. As FBI agents who specialize in unexplained
phenomena, they are the investigators of the X-Files, strange and
inexplicable cases which are also mysteries that the FBI doesn't want
solved.
Dr. Gregory's unique death quickly and clearly becomes an X-File. As
Mulder and Scully begin their frustrating work, unearthing the top
secret project that Dr. Gregory was working on, they confront a
tight-lipped Federal bureaucracy whose job it is to stop questions
before they are asked. One by one, Mulder and Scully hit dead ends,
closed security clearances, and classified documents that no one wants
them to see. But that doesn't stop Mulder and Scully from ripping the
lid off Dr. Gregory's illegal project - "Bright Anvil" - a new type of
flash nuclear explosive that has all the destructive power of the
Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, but with a new design that leaves
virtually no radioactive fallout. The implications for the modern world
are deadly, and some radical protest groups will stop at nothing to
prevent the test from happening.
When a second victim, completely unrelated to nuclear science or Dr.
Gregory is obliterated in the New Mexico desert, and then a third dies
the same way in Washington D.C., Mulder and Scully begin to focus on the
frightening dimensions of their task. The bizarre deaths cannot be a
coincidence. And as they work to uncover the secret unifying element
that unites these deaths, it becomes clear that this twisted puzzle has
fatal consequences for the entire world.
