      Author Notes

      ~ Chapter I ~

      Drenon looked up from the book titled Crisis and the Apocalypse of Man as the familiar sound of chainsaws stopped. It was replaced by the squeal of a monstrous cotton tree, nearly two hundred feet tall, starting its descent. The dim shadows retreated as the falling tree left a tremendous hole in the jungle canopy letting in the early morning sun. The tree's eight foot thick trunk destroyed everything in its path during its thunderous fall. This destruction finally ended in an explosion which shook the ground as if Armageddon had arrived. The artificial earthquake would have tipped a half empty soda can had Drenon not reached over to steady it.

      He peered through thick glasses down at the paperwork he had been working on. He knew he was somewhere in the Toledo province of Belize, fairly close to the Guatemala border, but there was no official name for their location. The fallen tree was simply described as number 922 and in the location field was a set of GPS coordinates. In an ideal situation, the team would have had access to heavy equipment, but the location was so remote cutting the access roads would have been a monumental task.

      Getting up from his black plastic folding chair, Drenon lumbered his heavy frame over to the raw stump which was already swarming with short amber colored men. All of the men spoke English, but talked to each other in Brazilian Creole, a language Drenon did not understand. Only the foreman, Miguel, would talk to him, but all of the men looked so similar Drenon could not pick him out of the crowd. He knew the men would soon be digging the enormous stump, roots and all, from the ground until it could be pried out for examination.

      Even though he was the tallest man in the group by at least a foot, he walked completely ignored over to investigate the top of the newly fallen giant. Upon reaching the stump, he saw where sap should have been flowing from a raw wound in living wood, instead a black hole three feet in diameter reached out of sight into the ground. The pit was ringed with dark brown frail sponge-like rot. The cotton trees had been dying rapidly across the province with no explanation and Drenon was here in this remote location trying to find out why.

      The men refuse to cut down any more trees, spat Miguel’s voice from behind him with a heavy Spanish accent.

      Devon turned. "Miguel, explain to the men if
