The couple really strays off the beaten path and dives headlong into their new surroundings, discovering the highlights and lowlights of greater Tokyo in the course of their quest. Covering popular and celebrated sights as well as "secret" locations less reputable but equally as stimulating and educational for the unsuspecting pair. They grow closer to friends and fellow teachers during that time, sharing experiences and struggles as mounting obstacles in the form of interracial relationships, cultural differences, societal racism and general misunderstanding of daily life are handled with difficulty and ease in turn. Gaining inspirational cues from associates, cultural attractions and the general population alike.

Delving into the seedier side of Tokyo life to witness the underbelly of Japanese culture first-hand as much as the upper eschelons of society with both fascination and inflamed senses for various reasons. Transititioning between disparate worlds effortlessly and gracefully to learn all they can about the people and culture they've selected as home. From hostess bars to criminal haunts to high-powered and glass-towered sections frequented by the upper class, Sandy and Paul embrace and (if all goes well) rise to it all.

They also run into a couple on the street, not much older than themselves, who offer them an opportunity to catapult their careers working with the next generation of top university graduates. Initially the interview process seems strict but intriguing as it involves an international organization training future executives, corporate heads and government brass. Paul and Sandy must undergo extensive training as well as thorough security clearances in order to qualify for these prestigious positions. Leading them into a hidden world they have no idea about until it becomes their own to witness and interact with personally. Something they are wary of at first.

They also become more invested in budding friendships with associates and colleagues alike, foreigner and Japanese. Enmeshing in others' lives as friends and acquaintances become more involved in theirs, boosting and supporting all mutually in the midst of recurrent struggles coupled inevitably with reasons to celebrate ever-changing lives that seem to improve steadily over time.

Being abroad quickly becomes the time of their lives when they recognize how much life and living was missed back home and the world broadens their awareness from the moment they step off the plane. Japan feels more like home than any other place they're ever lived and all the activities they engage in augment this inspired journey for the ages!

Third installment in The Superspecies Series. At this point in the story, Jack Falcon, Rick Skaggs, Morey Intinman and the gang are doing all they can to protect Superspecies from the combined forces of the EPA and other organizations obsessed with their destruction. Witnessing events as they unfold, Falcon exposes the utter ruthlessness of the EPA's secret extermination program while Dr. Intinman fights for their preservation within scholary and media realms. Meanwhile Superspecies extermination intensifies as the government does everything in its power to speed up the process and hide their actions from both public scrutiny and official oversight.

Falcon and Intinman collaborate more readily as the conflict intensifies in order to increase their chances of success. Leveling up their efforts as they go head-to-head with seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against them. Fighting anti-Superspecies forces in public protests, speaking engagements and covert operations by sharing information with the press about destructive and illegal operations going on inside White River National Forest. Risking their reputations, freedom and lives at the same time.

It all comes to a head when they're invited to vent their grievances before a Senate committee charged with the Superspecies problem, accompanied by increased scrutiny from the press as the issue invokes international attention and public outcry. Leading to some welcome benefits and unexpected problems as actions they attempt to keep hidden are threatened by the possibility of exposure. They spill most of what they know or have witnessed to the Senate in the hopes the legal establishment will afford special protection to the animals, resulting in less than impressive results overall. In the process running across a few conspiracies related to how power struggles and political machinations in the background manipulate everything behind the scenes.

Strap in for all the latest shocking events in this third edition of The Superspecies saga.

A young girl is brutally abducted by a bloodthirsty grizzly, forcing a group of scientists to mop up a genetic engineering operation that is out of control, threatening any and all who enter the woods. One question remains: are the animals really dangerous for no reason at all or does their enhanced intelligence simply make them recognize something damning about human nature that needs to be understood before it's too late? Harmonious coexistence with an emerging highly-intelligent species competing for dominance over the earth or total destruction of humans and animals alike?

Those are the two options now.

Two groups of scientific researchers are sent to a forest where bear attacks are frequent in order to study what is happening only to find themselves attacked and outsmarted (in part) by the animals themselves. Two environmental action groups also find themselves at odds over the fate of the dangerously genetically-enhanced creatures. One group wants to see the beasts wiped out completely and the other wants to preserve them at all costs, even at the expense of human life. The two sides are locked in an impasse, unable to resolve their differences in an amiable way which leads to ever-increasing tension, animosity, kidnapping and murder.

Entire forests are quarantined in an attempt to control and contain the beasts but soon holes are discovered in the operation as key players start disappearing in addition to animals eluding their hunters, fighting back and changing the field of battle to their own terms. Ambushing their pursuers on more than one occasion.

As the "pro-beast" and "pro-human" sides chase to their own interests with the unfortunate bears caught in the middle (struggling to establish themselves in a human dominated world), the animals learn more and more to rely on their expanding awareness to survive and thrive in an entirely new world...to evolution shattering effect!

Paul Masters is a troubled and irresponsible young man who doesn’t much care about himself or his future until he crashes into the elderly Mrs. Halston one morning while rushing to school. He nearly kills her and, as a result, faces the harsh reality of severe legal jeopardy if she dies. His relationship with his girlfriend Sandy is also on the rocks and everything in his life seems to be spiraling out of control until Mrs. Halston recovers and appears in court on his behalf, rescuing him from a lengthy jail term and a doomed perspective on life as well.

Following the brutal accident caused by Masters’ impatience and carelessness, Mrs. Halston is taken to the hospital with her life hanging by a thread. He witnesses her carted away and realizes his life is forever changed by one careless act. Ironically, he fails to realize that what seems like a tragic event ending only in misery for him is really the most fortunate and life-altering moment of his life. Bad luck turns into the best possible circumstances for Paul Masters.

Sandy, the love of his life, is equally a mess and hasn’t a clue what she wants from life. She parties too much, hangs out with destructive, immature friends and considers Paul a crimp on her wild, unrestrained lifestyle. She only wants to dump him after the accident and possible jail sentence because she can’t deal with the tragedy of it all and, unknown to her, the even greater tragedy of losing him.

Reconciliation is hard won for both after a rather rocky break up but when they start talking openly for the first time because the pressure’s off at last, they find they have more in common than they realized which draws them closer together. Toward a greater appreciation for each other and profound love too after Mrs. Halston rescues Paul from himself.
