Description -
A research scientist and his father have designed and constructed a revolutionary solar power system that easily and efficiently converts sunlight into electrical energy. Designed to be simply made and affordable, the dream was to make the system available to everyone. Some members of the oil industry were devoted to preventing the system's introduction into the energy market by any means necessary. They may have succeeded. With his father dead, Hoot's dream was in a shambles and he was trapped with hundreds of other people inside Yosemite National Park. A massive earthquake had closed all the roads in and out of the park and the killers were still on the loose. Hoot's new friends, Sam and Josie Gates, Ezra John Wayne, Magdelena de La Viega and C.J. Post work with him to not only find his dad's killer but to save his life. Along the way, from Yosemite to the Samoan Islands, he and C.J. discover an unsettling realization...his ying and her yang actually complement one another and it frightens them.
