A Middle Eastern region littered with ruins - the site of an extraordinary deception, an industrial relic in Buffalo that was the source of an unlikely American icon, the relics of a once thriving city-state in Tanzania, and a strange facility in Taiwan that struck fear into the hearts of those who knew its true purpose.

A volcanic island just off Taiwan containing chilling ruins from its darkest era, a strange site filled with rusting metal cages and a miniature railway that lies forgotten in the woods of Arkansas USA, an Eastern European town that lived through a radioactive nightmare, and a United States Air Force base in Britain with a top-secret agenda.
