None of his talents are overlooked as he begins to sort out the lay of the land. Unwittingly, he acts a catalyst and discerns the island's rather credulous academics are unaware that the technology they create will be used for malice, sin and vice. In paradise, true evil is even more insidious…against their innocence reigns a wickedness few will survive.
