Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel along with Jason, a gifted tenth-grader who discovers his sense of inquiry in his quest for Truth, his "Golden Fleece." The cauldron of his metamorphosis is a mix of "programmed education," family forces and the influence of an old man who understands the "culture wars" in America today. His father is an astronomer, and his father's best friend - a biology instructor. They go to Brazil over spring break to investigate a geologic event surrounded by a radio-signal. They return with answers, but they bring back more than they realize. This is far more than a kid's story. Journey with Jason in the discovery and solution of the mysterious malady in this tale of adventure - the quest for reality, the preservation of mind and the search for American identity.
