INVENTOR AND DREAMER PITTED AGAINST THE STATUS QUO
ABOUT
Matthew, a savant all-American genius and his beguiling sidekick, Maria, witness an inventor’s son riddled with bullets, discover the solution to our insatiable energy needs, then race against seemingly insurmountable odds to save the invention and perhaps the world.
His own words haunt Dr. Jackson after his wife’s suspicious death. Can a reclusive man at a Lake Michigan compound, surrounded by security tighter than the White House, protect his son and himself from ever-powerful enemies? A generation later, an all-American whiz kid named Matthew Eaton learns the answer
to that question. Who, if anyone, will control Dr. Jackson’s miracle of science?
Perpetual bursts off the screen when Matthew witnesses three men gunned down before his eyes. But not before he and Maria are handed the keys to solving one of society’s greatest dilemmas—how the world can fuel its insatiable energy demands. Drawn by a chance encounter into the life of a charismatic stranger called Cracker Jack, Matthew is soon dodging bullets from evildoers—to whom profit trumps life.
While Matthew and Maria take flight along the East Coast in a battered VW Bus, seemingly unrelated events unfold around the globe, some set in motion decades before Matthew was born. Can Matthew trust those closest to him? Can he trust the FBI? Can he trust anyone?
Pitted against daunting forces—U.S. government-trained assassins, the oil industry, and Middle Eastern Islamic extremists—trouble abounds for Matthew and Maria at every turn. Their allies, a disheveled FBI agent and a mysterious philanthropic tutor, may be helpless to save them. Matthew faces choices that inevitably alter his fate and the future of all those around him, choices that could change the entire world.
