Publisher's Synopsis


Adventures of the Solar kid as he is being guided into a future Solar Society.
Disillusioned by the mindless materialism of the 80's and plagued by hallucinations of power outages, fires and scenes of a futuristic solar society, the Kid decides to put on a backpack and leave Midwestern suburbia and head out in search of personal truth. He hops a train heading west and begins to encounter eclectic fellow travelers and realizes that they all are far more connected than he had originally thought. Sharing a common frustration and distain for greed-driven corporations that value profit over the earth and its inhabitants, the unlikely crew ends up in Denver at a solar/nuclear celebration sponsored by political figures and corporate energy conglomerates. The crew suspects a cover up and become impassioned by their convictions, causing their activities at the gathering to change the course of the rally and their lives. The Kid finds himself in the past, present and future without warning. A wizard, and a wise character named Moby show up along the way and guide him with the notion that the world is waking up and heading toward something quite wondrous despite the sings of destruction, ego and greed...all life is heading toward the light.
