The Volcano Dancer

Extended description

After a long, sleepless weekend, waiting for his family to return Rick Morrow heard a knock and opened his front door to three government officials.

“Your wife and daughter are dead,” they told him, referring to a highway accident on government property. "Unfortunately, what happened is classified. The matter is Top Secret. Beyond what we say today, no court, no agency, no official can tell you anything else."

That was two-and-a-half years ago. The year is now 2019. The nation has a new flag; the public still flies the old flag. Military recruiting is at an all time low; the government has quietly begun supplementing the ranks with foreign soldiers-of-fortune. The economy is in its eleventh year of a depression. In four cities the people have taken to the streets in all-out rioting. The federal government is about to repeal Posse Comitatus, the 19th century law forbidding the use of federal soldiers against U.S. citizens....

“Your wife and daughter are dead,” they told him, referring to a highway accident on government property. "Unfortunately, what happened is classified. The matter is Top Secret. Beyond what we say today, no court, no agency, no official can tell you anything else."

That was two-and-a-half years ago. The year is now 2019. The nation has a new flag; the public still flies the old flag. Military recruiting is at an all time low; the government has quietly begun supplementing the ranks with foreign soldiers-of-fortune. The economy is in its eleventh year of a depression. In four cities the people have taken to the streets in all-out rioting. The federal government is about to repeal Posse Comitatus, the 19th century law forbidding the use of federal soldiers against U.S. citizens.

But there's hope. The Constitution is still the law of the land. A strong minority of rule-of-law proponents still comprise important positions in the Justice Department. One of these is former federal investigator Liam Channing, a man with substantial connections in Washington.

On the road to uncover the truth behind the tragedy that took his family, Rick finds Nikolette Allen, a young woman uncertain about a career in Washington serving a government she no longer trusts. Together, they find Liam, who agrees to help them by sending them on a quest across the country for clues to the mystery.

Along the way, Rick and Nikki develop an immediate chemistry as they travel by day, and she reads his journal by night. From his past, she learns how the ashes of sorrow and regret pushed Rick to the brink of self destruction, and how a night of soul-searching freed him to live again.

A story of hope and persistence, The Volcano Dancer is the journey of two unlikely companions, each reluctant to admit romantic attraction, as they make an arduous climb from tragedy to ultimate justice.

The climb from tragedy to justice is the exhilaration of life as endless as the distant horizon.
