In this dazzling first novel, David D. Ross takes us to a fully realized twenty-first century America -- a place where few people have the courage, foresight, and skill to realize their dreams. The nation's isolationist politics have turned citizens' minds in upon themselves, away from the future. An exception is the brilliant physicist Dr. Dorian Nye, the one man who could decode the cryptic Strubeck equations and feed an overpopulated world suffering from a devastating South American grain blight. An assassin's bullet took Nye's life -- but when the smoke cleared, the dead man wasn't Dorian Nye.
