Shamanism, modern technology and the thirst for power are woven into a tapestry of death and destruction as a patchwork band of investigators, lead by FBI Special Agent Tony Alisone, race against the clock to save the nation from its Darkest Hour. Starting with the downing of a commercial jetliner in Orange County California and ending 72 hours later in a far-flung series of battles, this action packed thriller leads the team from coast to coast at lightning speed, while the main FBI/HLS investigation chases an elaborate hoax. Hidden under the cloak of corporate legitimacy, the enemy is organized, rich and competent. But the investigators have their own secret weapon, the ancient shamanic practices of the American Indians and their Power Animals. Reviewer John Reed puts it this way: "You've woven a lot of diverse elements together. The ending is good - driving home the point that the danger is still out there. Will we have learned our lesson? Will we meet the challenge next time? There is an interesting message here."
