About The Cleanse

The first book in the mystical sci-fi The Cleanse triliogy about trust, love and greed! Can you imagine a world without plastic? None at all? Gaia is sick and dying. She is being poisoned by the planet's oceans, which contain over 5 trillion pieces of plastic or 363,762,732,605 pounds. Nothing can escape it. Micro plastic is in everything, including our own bodies. She is crying out for help. One man has heard the cry for decades. He lives on the island of Malaita in the Solomon Islands. His name is Keppa Kai, but those who know him as the shaman he is, call him Grandfather. Three brilliant graduate students from Berkeley are treated to a surfing adventure on a remote island. Someone has been waiting for them. He mysteriously appears to Tom in the airport in Hawaii, but when he tells Samantha and Adam, they never saw him. On Mala they meet Grandfather for the first time, and he tells them he has been waiting for them, that there is something they must do. Julia Witherspoon is the daughter of a famous man and is obsessed with finding where her father traveled to after discovering the largest diamond deposit in Canada’s history. She finds her father’s diary and reads it. In it he speaks of a mountain of diamonds which he discovered on a remote island in the South Pacific, only to be run off by non-human giants. She is determined to find the island and claim the treasure for her company and, more importantly, for herself. Giants or no giants. Mala holds the greatest treasure imaginable, but what it takes to find it is a steeper climb than any mountain can offer. Grandfather and Luti Mikode stand ready to assist them, but they must decide for themselves. Will Mala remain the pristine “Land That Time Forgot”? Or will it become a barren strip-mined memory and another testament to mankind’s greed. Will Gaia finally be free of the pain she endures? Or will every creature who lives on her continue to suffer and die? Get your copy and join the quest for life, love and saving the planet!
