Dead Energy

Global oil supplies suddenly vanish and society starts to crumble in this science fiction mystery. While on vacation sailing the waters of the Puget Sound, geophysicist Alex Cave hears a Mayday call and sees a brilliant flash of neon blue light surround an oil tanker. He changes course to help and discovers there was no explosion, no one on board, and the oil has mysteriously vanished without a trace. His only clue is a three-inch crystal found in the empty hold of the tanker. The Reverend Menno Simons, an environmental fanatic, leads his followers on a crusade to rid the world of crude oil, forcing good people to do horrible things. If he is not stopped, the only law will be that of survival. Harold Woolley, a mild-mannered man with a domineering wife and two teenagers who do not respect him, gets caught up in the struggle and is forced to find the courage to get his family to a survivalist camp, but it's not what he expected, and he must fight to save their lives. Things go from bad to worse as the Alaska pipeline and west coast refineries are suddenly empty! Civilization descends into chaos when the lack of fuel keeps basic necessities from reaching the inner cities, pitting human against human in a desperate attempt to survive the madness spreading across the planet. Alex's only clue is the crystal, which under a high-powered microscope, appears to be alive.
