For the first time in his life, Ricky Priest has found peace and contentment at the commune of they call Eden. The commune is thriving and his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend are happy to be with him and everyone at the commune looks up to him as their leader.
Priest started out as a street thug but had great success in his young life, even becoming a millionaire at one point before he ran afoul of the law. Now he lives in peaceful obscurity with his fellow commune members.
But the devil is coming to destroy their happy community. The electric utility company is building a new power plant and part of the plan is a dam that will result in Ricky's little piece of heaven being drowned. Ricky will risk everything to try to stop it, even if it means people have to die to get his point across.
This was an interesting story. I question whether it really is possible to cause a bad earthquake using the method described in the story. But other than that, it was pretty good.
