Publisher's summary

A Berkeley professor at the forefront of scientific progress must stand up to violent confrontations in humanity's battle over an enlightened or medieval future.

In the wake of recent astounding discoveries, uncertainty about environmental catastrophe is roiling society. The vitriol leads to an unimaginable backlash against the scientific community, especially the Berkeley professor most associated with the discoveries.

Meanwhile, the nighttime use of a prototype medical device by one of the professor's students leads to a breakthrough—that will be an abomination to some. When the leader of the biotech company developing the device realizes the breakthrough's life-saving potential, he'll risk death threats, prison, and his company's survival to use the device before it's proven safe.

This second story in the First Contact Last Resort soft sci-fi series dramatizes how our society and leaders cope with massive progress and upheaval. Some will be heroic. Others vile.
