Truth is stranger than fiction.

Recently a couple walking near their home along the California coast found canisters of gold coins. Imagine if someone were to find canisters of plutonium in their backyard! Would they turn it into gold by selling it to countries now spending billions to acquire nuclear weapons? Or might they deploy it to further a political agenda? Would the American government finally curb its environmental excesses to avoid a Nagasaki in Nebraska?

This action-packed novel explores these questions, taking the reader on a fast-paced ride through the western half of the United States as authorities desperately strive to prevent the most powerful weapon known to man from being used on its innocent citizens.
