Harry Faulkner is content with the new life he's created at Dubai's leading Ad Agency. By sweeping once painful memories under his expensive Persian rug he's happily become a casualty of a system that encourages minds to be comfortably numb. An unwelcome blast from the past however, forces him to make some tough decisions with serious consequences.Harry's world dramatically changes and he becomes a reluctant passenger on a journey that threatens to open his mind or kill him. He thinks more by chance than by choice as once forgotten friends come together in a fast-paced adventure from the Middle East to Hong Kong and to the tropical paradise of Bali. The more perceptive Harry becomes the more the illusion of reality dismantles, revealing hidden truths in a world of gruesome and often disturbing opposites; conspiracy theories become stone-cold facts; nature becomes a weapon of fear and suffering; and technology is used to ruthlessly reduce the world's population. It's in Bali that Harry remembers his life's purpose and discovers hidden insights at an ancient ceremony held under the shadow of an erupting volcano. Among the dystopia an unlikely guide appears, shedding light on his mission, helping him to remember true power lies within. Once he accepts the responsibility that comes with this knowledge his fear of death dissolves and the hope of a brighter future emerges.
