The third chapter transports him to a dry barren desert, with a mysterious hidden dockyard filled with nuclear weapons, so I guess that one really is a harbor full of deadly secrets. The second chapter takes him to the mountains of Tibet, which also harbor a deadly secret. The first chapter sees him in a post-apocalyptic NYC, entering an underground sewage system that harbors a deadly secret.
