Have you ever really listened to music? Sometimes it’s not what we hear that can harm us, but what we can’t. When a college science professor harnesses the ability to read and control human thoughts through radio transmissions, he’s kidnapped and not heard from again. Meanwhile, a string of grotesque murders are popping up all over southeast Michigan, starting with 19-year-old Amanda Grace being methodically tortured and murdered in her apartment.

It was suppose to be their honeymoon. Nick Stone – renowned pothead, trouble-maker, and all around Good Guy – accompanied by his mentally unstable and very pregnant wife Laurie, take a trip to Nick’s birthplace – a tiny and forgotten little island called Arabella. Home to Spanish natives and retired Naval officers, Arabella is a hidden paradise to those who know of its existence.

The mysteries start as soon as they step foot on the island. Nick finds Arabella is now under the rule of an oppressing dictator whose wife mysteriously vanished, hell-bent on keeping the people of the island in the Dark Ages. But he has his reason.

Just about everyone on Arabella has their own secret. To each, it’s a secret that could destroy their lives. And they’ll do whatever necessary to keep Nick from finding out.

Thirty miles off the coast, a secret militant force plans their move. Only one person knows who they are and why they’re here. But no one knows their ultimate motive. They want the island.

But they’re young and in love, and when Allison cons Larry into moving to a little northwest mountain town to raise emus, he can’t say no. But rural paradise sours when Allison becomes a true believer in radical environmentalism and ends up tree-sitting with the ultimate enviro-stud, a swashbuckling alpha-male who calls himself Michael Wolfcaller.

What technologies do we need to solve the complex environmental, economic, social, and political challenges facing us today? As this thought-provoking book reveals, one tool for enacting change is already at our fingertips: the global network.
