Publisher's Synopsis
Lightning isn't always an act of nature. Sometimes it's a calling. When easy-going Barry Andrews is struck by lightning as he hikes among petroglyphs outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, the surge of energy awakens abilities he's carried since birth. Earth's fate is now tied to Barry's, and Barry's destiny is linked to the past. A thousand years ago, the Anasazi, ancestors of the Pueblo Indians, built an advanced society in Chaco Canyon. Seeking to tame their harsh environment, they aligned their pueblos and kivas with lunar and solar cycles and tapped into powers normally controlled by the spirits. The Anasazi soon realized they couldn't handle such power, and their meddling disrupted a balance of forces and almost ended life on earth. They dismantled their kivas and abandoned Chaco Canyon to stop man from repeating their mistake. But the pueblo ruins still hold power, and the desire to control it remains strong. One man, driven by greed, ignores Anasazi warnings and exploits the ancient secrets of Chaco. Once again, Earth's ability to sustain life is threatened. The spirits gave Barry the ability to restore the balance. Now he must join forces with a Native American elder, accept his role as warrior, and save the earth.
