What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery. Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives.

In 48 hours, the Earth will be hit by a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun, a "Carrington Event" that has the power to shut down and possibly destroy the world's electrical infrastructure. To try and prevent permanent damage, everything goes dark prior to the hit: Global communications are shut down; hospital emergency generators are disconnected; the entire internet, media broadcasting, and cell phone systems are turned off. Will the world's population successfully defend itself in the wake of the CME, or will mass panic lead to the breakdown of society as we know it?

Harmony House is more than a “special place for special people.” It’s a think tank where high-functioning autistic savants harness their unique abilities for the benefit of society. Resident Eddie Parks’s contribution: an “echo box” that can re-create never-recorded sounds using acoustic archeology. All Eddie wants is to hear his late mother’s voice. But what he’s created is inadvertently posing a threat to national security. To Harmony House’s shadowy government backers and radical extremists, the echo box is the ultimate intelligence asset - an end to the very concept of secrecy.

Publisher's summary
Light Up the World tells the story of America's endeavors to alleviate their reliance and dependency on foreign countries for its energy needs. A Massive hydroelectric project of the scope the world has never seen before is being built in the furthest northern regions of Quebec. Funded by huge American oil conglomerates, tobacco companies, and other international institutions, project HOPE (Hydro Ocean Powered Eletcricity) will generate enough electrical power to satisy more than half of North America's energy needs. Everything was going to plan until the unexpected happened....
Author/narrator Robert C. Brewster seemlessly weaves us in and out of two totally different cultures. The amazing range of his voice renders to life characters so real and vivid that you will actually feel you really know these people.
Will greed for profits overshadow the tremendous loss of human lives that would surely occur if dollars were more important than lost souls? How far would they go to insure that project HOPE went ahead on schedule? Could they really be stopped considering their unlimited resources?
Light Up the World answers those questions and proposes viable solutions to this contemporary problem. It's unexpected ending will leave listners more than satisfied. In an energy-starved world whose basic existence depends on mass consumption, renewable energy sources are an undeniable factor for its very continuance. This story offers us hope, but also spells out the necessities that must be taken to insure that that day will soon arrive.
