Penelope Drayton Spence made a choice years earlier and picked marriage and family over a promising career as an investigative reporter. Now, divorced and with her children spread around the country, she is having second thoughts. A mysterious call from the Managing Editor of the Washington Post offers her a second chance at big-time journalism. He has a story so sensitive that the President of the United States personally asked the Post to leave it alone.
With rumors of 30 top scientists missing and rich industrialist, Michael Walker, being held incommunicado in a prison typically used for terrorists, the story is too big to ignore. He quietly turns to the only person he knows who is good enough to crack this story, his old college friend Penelope. The moment she picks up the phone her life is turned upside down and she soon finds herself traveling cross country with the most wanted man in America looking for information about the top secret Hermes Project.

"The title of this book made me want to read it since I have a thing for enlightenment and awakening subjects. I enjoyed the plot and characters but didn't get as much as I'd hoped for in the awakening arena. Although it was a nice page turner that kept my interest. Felt like a bit too much happened in the last 10% and would have liked the developments more evenly spread throughout. Still a very good read overall." — Jason (4 out of 5 stars)

" Interesting story line "
" I found this book boring and nothing but a self-help type book in bedded in a not very believable fiction book! Was delighted when I finished wading though it and proud of me for finishing it, good for putting you to sleep! "

" Interesting premise and take on "The Secret" kind of thought power with the universe. I do enjoy a good science thriller, makes me think about what we are capable of. "
" Great read, very interesting, thought provoquing, captivating to the end. A spiritual thriller, a first of this kind for me, when I got to the last page, I wanted to start reading book 2 right away. "
" The story keeps you reading, but didn't deliver the giant, earth-shaking revelation I had hoped for. It's a more intellectual version of 'the Celestine Prophecy' but not as satisfying or believable. "
