He lives a privileged life as the Naval Research Laboratorys preeminent meteorologist and scientist. But beneath the facade of a self-centered, arrogant personality lies a seething, vulnerable man whose secrets have plagued his sleep since 1982. Thats when he discovered the truth about what happened to his girlfriend, Sylvia. In the year 2007, his nightmares become a reality when weather satellites detect an environmental aberration. Memories from college at Penn Stateand their accompanying heartbreakpush their way back into Silversteins life. Only he knows the root cause of the phenomenon and its scientific basisand the mastermind behind it all.This fast-paced thriller spans the globe: from the Suez Canal and Christmas Island to Istanbul, Turkey; to Monterey, California and Washington, DC; and finally to Bermuda.
