~ PROLOGUE ~
Son Source was a catchy business name and lined up with Zach Slenski’s mission to save the planet. After Sunlyndra a solar panel company in Oregon bilked the federal government out of 500 million dollars American’s had a bad taste for solar energy.
Zach was about to put the green deal back on track with his new quad solar panels but needed venture capital. He’d spent almost five years and all his family savings on research and development. Just getting a meeting with an investment group for an upstart solar company was next to impossible.
Mr. Philip Rubin and seven members of his WWO group fully understood that good clean renewable energy would be a threat to OPEC’s oil exports. A blackmail plan was put in place that could give Zach, Sally and their two children enough money to do most anything and repay their college fund.

~ PROLOGUE ~
David and Paul childhood friends all through high school part ways for more than twenty years. Both served in Vietnam, Paul as a foot soldier and David stationed out of harm’s way as an electronic technician. Their lives take up again when Paul, now a priest flies out to Colorado to confront David with some life-threatening news. It seems that not even prayer can help Paul find the forgiveness he is seeking. But, it is David that is in harm’s way, ever since he unlawfully obtained a Clipper Chip decoder box. The little black box contained the MYK78T integrated circuit (IC), the National Security Agency secretly developed to ease drop and unscrambled encrypted messages over telephone lines, just before the end of the Cold War in 1991.
FOOTNOTE: The US government claims to have declassified the Skipjack algorithm used in the chip set for the Chipper Chip Decoder box. If that were true, why then do hackers still use an 80-bit key and a symmetric cipher algorithm when they ransom computers? Don’t believe everything the government claims to be true. . .
