John, a free spirit anthropology professor, is in Machu Picchu, Peru. In the predawn, he breaks into the ancient Inca's Torreón tower to witness the sun's rays pass through the tower's immaculately placed window to illuminate the sacred groove. When he emerges, stunned by what he's seen, the world has changed. For the first time in his life, he is the right man in the right place. He knows something about the massive teardrops that now hang in the sky that the world needs to hear. His boss at Langley isn't so sure. As the world descends into chaos, John begins a dangerous trek back home to Colorado to help his sister and parents survive in a deeply divided America now ruled by Red Hats. Along the way, he embarks upon the more difficult journey to adulthood. To live long enough to grow up and finally find someone with whom to share his life, he needs to elude RAP, the president's men. This story is about what can happen when the relentless promotion of fantasies for political gain reduces science to fiction. The only fiction in this story is the teardrops; the rest is history repeating itself if America succumbs to fascism.
