Clean, safe, nuclear energy became a reality in 2005. A reactor small enough to be carried in a suitcase promised power for the entire planet. No radioactivity. No toxic waste. Unlimited cheap energy. Cold fusion!
When the rumors began to fly about cold fusion, powerful fossil fuel interests around the world were not pleased. Fortunes and empires would collapse if cold fusion were possible. This invention had to be shut down, annihilated, and erased from memory. The only way to do that was to silence, by whatever means, the scientist who had invented cold fusion before it went public!
Preston Cook discovered the solution to cold fusion after years of solitary work in his home laboratory and suddenly, overnight, he found himself a target and a pariah! He was forced to run from a tightening circle of international assassins to save himself, his family, and his work.

He moved to Los Angeles and, after earning a Masters of Arts in University Administration from California State University, Northridge, he worked both as a teacher and administrator in higher education.
