Surviving the crash of their small plane in northern Canada, the five awaken to find themselves in Dema-Ki, an uncharted valley inhabited by a mysterious people. Nursed back to health, the teenagers are soon cast into a life-altering adventure when a strange affliction wreaks havoc in this remote sanctuary. The Elders of the village believe that the five newcomers hold the key to the salvation of not only Dema-Ki, but that of all humanity as foretold in their prophecy. Skeptical at first, the five eventually grow to accept the possibilities of the prophecy after experiencing a series of baffling events. Unbeknownst to them, a renegade group of youths, zealously opposed to the initiation of the 'outsiders', soon begin their maneuvers to rid the village of the newcomers.

Book excerpt: In a world where advanced knowledge is widespread and low-cost labor is readily available, U.S. advantages in the marketplace and in science and technology have begun to erode. A comprehensive and coordinated federal effort is urgently needed to bolster U.S. competitiveness and pre-eminence in these areas. This congressionally requested report by a pre-eminent committee makes four recommendations along with 20 implementation actions that federal policy-makers should take to create high-quality jobs and focus new science and technology efforts on meeting the nation's needs, especially in the area of clean, affordable energy: 1) Increase America's talent pool by vastly improving K-12 mathematics and science education; 2) Sustain and strengthen the nation's commitment to long-term basic research; 3) Develop, recruit, and retain top students, scientists, and engineers from both the U.S. and abroad; and 4) Ensure that the United States is the premier place in the world for innovation. Some actions will involve changing existing laws, while others will require financial support that would come from reallocating existing budgets or increasing them. Rising Above the Gathering Storm will be of great interest to federal and state government agencies, educators and schools, public decision makers, research sponsors, regulatory analysts, and scholars.
