Synopsis

It is sometime in the distant future, society as we know it no longer exists, at least not on the moon where a colony has been established, complete with technological advances that have made daily life a near utopia. Good health, resources and prosperity belong to all. Then, purely by accident, a scientist develops a tree capable of growing treasure on its branches. Greed and a lust for power seize the inhabitants. Momentum builds until an inter-galactic war is on the verge of erupting. Only one man, the unfortunate inventor can prevent the holocaust. but, it already seems to be too late. --- from book's back cover
