Description: A young, black, astrophysics student at an all-white university makes a scientific discovery that turns the world upside-down. He calls together life-long friends from high school and presents them with an ambitious and unimaginable plan for the future. Over time, he gathers together other like-minded African Americans to share in his dream of a community without the deprivations or distractions of white America. Together, they create technical and medical marvels more advanced than any that exist in America, or anywhere else on Planet Earth. No one anticipated what would happen when an unsuspecting America discovered their existence, and then tried to confront these extraordinary people at their lunar doorstep.

About the author: WILLIAM HAYASHI continues his epic tale with the second installment of the Darkside Trilogy, carrying forward a never-before told story with hints of the speculative fiction of Michael Crichton and the surprising plot twists of Robert Ludlum. Hayashi is a lifelong Information Technologies professional. He began his career as a programmer in the early 1970s, and has operated his IT consultancy for over 25 years. Hayashi's writing also includes award-winning screenplays. His seminal movie script, written for the Chicago leg of the 48 Hour Film Project competition in 2009, won for Best Script. His next three scripts were all produced, with a feature film scheduled for production in late summer of 2014. A Chicago native, Hayashi continues his philanthropic work in designing, building and maintaining not-for-profit computer training centers in under-served neighborhoods in the city he still calls home.
Notes: A novel.
