4th in the Brandt Family Adventures
The environment is fighting back and Earth’s inhabitants are dying.
In this engaging environmental adventure, six young couples join together to bring a teasingly erotic and romantic flavor and flare to their individual relationships while simultaneously striving to solve a deadly challenge facing the entire globe.
Several typically safe and naturally occurring chemical elements are suddenly being released in quantities and places never before experienced by mankind. The deadly effects on all living species are alarming, but the cause of the toxic releases around the world remains a mystery. Are these environmental accidents, man-made catastrophes on an epic scale, acts of terrorism, or are they due to something beyond human comprehension?
Dr. Celia (Cile) Reid (“Searching for the Shoreline Angel”) is an investigator with the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Along with her brand new husband, Tobias (Toby) Davis, a professor of Physics at UCLA, and a team of experts from around the globe, the couple must overcome geopolitical obstacles, identify the causes for the toxic releases and find a way to stop the disasters without doing even greater damage to the environment.
The couple is honeymooning in Myrtle Beach so that Toby can provide scouting assistance for the UCLA women's volleyball team. Shortly after arriving at their hotel, Cile and Toby befriend Jules and Didi, a young couple on vacation from South Africa. Jules is a world renowned geologist and Didi is his beautiful Capetown Colored fiancee. When Cile and Toby instill enough confidence in this couple that their interracial relationship would be completely acceptable in America, a beach wedding results in two couples now eager to both celebrate their honeymoons.
At least they could try to celebrate if work and world events didn’t keep interrupting them. As the head of her team, Cile keeps getting communications related to mysterious poisoning events around the country. Conversations with old friends and new acquaintances provide details of similar poisoning events occurring beyond America’s borders.
When a beautiful young Indian scientist is sent to the symposium to try to surreptitiously learn what other countries are doing to solve their environmental crises, the attempt to kidnap her is thwarted by Cile and Toby. Invited to join the growing group of newlyweds and their friends, this Indian beauty draws the attention of UCLA’s women's volleyball coach and a steamy affair soon develops. Sparks also fly between another professor from UCLA, Ginger Olsen, and the charismatic geologist from the EPA, Carson McGregor.
Against the backdrop of all these loving couples attempting to experience the lustful, passionate, and romantic vacation they each desire, they must contribute to identifying why typically safe environmental elements are suddenly causing widespread deaths around the world. When hand-selected by the President, Cile assembles a team of experts visiting Myrtle Beach for an Earth Science symposium.
Political maneuvering and distrust among countries around the world has everyone holding their cards close to their vests. Can Cile and her team get the cooperation they need to gather the required data that would allow them to identify the cause for the environmental incidents and then find a way to solve them, or will the Earth itself have the final say?
