About the Book The experiment has begun. Erotamine is a neurotransmitter that literally transports the subject back to the womb, back to a mother's all-encompassing love. Can erotamine reverse criminality? Can it stop wars? The U.S. Department of Justice, among others, wants to know. And they'll stop at nothing to find out. Jonas Watchman is a CEO. Harold Conners is a pediatric heart surgeon. They have two things in common: they have broken the law and they have made a deal to get out of jail. At precisely 10:00 pm every evening, Jonas and Hal get higher than any junkie could imagine. Is it God's voice in their ears? This might be love in liquid form, but watch out for the side effects. News reporter Rebecca Morningstar is a long way from her home on the Nez Perce reservation. The big-city success she has worked for to make her mother proud is eating a hole inside her. She faces her first big assignment with pride and fear. An execution, a very strange execution. Now she must find out why a condemned man, in the final seconds of his life, could speak to her in a tongue that no white man knows. God has a gift for you. Her search for an answer will take her even further from the Idaho skies of her home. Now, her experiment has begun.
