During a summer camping trip, a teenage boy and his sister discover the hidden truth of the Biosphere and their father's disappearance.
The United States, once the land of the free, has become a land of biospheres. Huge tracts of land, from which citizens were removed and crowded into teaming cities, were now part of the "Green Movement". It was a plan to save the world from Pollution, or so they were told.
“I’m not going home,” he replied in a calm quiet voice.
Sam popped another berry and laughed. “Yes I know. Not right now, but when the two weeks are over.”
“Not in two weeks either,” he replied.
Sam stopped and looked at her brother. “What!” She stopped picking berries and stared at him in surprise. “You’re joking, right!”
“No,” he replied quietly, not raising his voice. “I’m going into the biosphere.”
“Say again!” she said a little louder.
“I’m going into the biosphere,” he repeated as he continued to pick berries.
“No you’re not!” she replied. “We’re going home in two weeks!”
“I hear there are camps set up in the biosphere,” he commented.
“I can’t believe what I am hearing!” she exclaimed. “It’s dangerous out there! And to prove it, there are two very large animals in our camp! Sure, you have been visiting with one of them for years! But what else is out there! And Dad was killed by one of those animals! Well, maybe not a wolf, but maybe an even bigger animal.
