The Hidden Ones

Something is desperately wrong on Darvas, a dying world locked in a perpetual ice age. Twenty years ago an archeological expedition vanished without a trace. Now, two decades later, sixteen year-old James Anson, grandson of the planet's discoverer, has returned to Darvas hoping to clear his family's reputation. Darvas, however, has other plans.

Stranded on the frigid surface when an unexpected earthquake disables their shuttle, James and his shipmates fight to survive. While lost in a sandstorm, he stumbles across a portal, a shimmering pool of pure energy connecting the present Darvas with its remote past. Unfortunately, the newly-awakened portal threatens to destroy them all. As the situation worsens, James becomes aware that someone is trying contact him -- His great-uncle's ghost!
