Homicide detective Rage is hiking alone on Mount Rainier. She is on a seldom traveled path, in the ice, snow, and has seen no one. She hears pop, pop. It makes her nervous. At her camp she sets it up and sleeps away from it. Someone shoots up her camp and takes all her supplies. But she hid some like a good Seal. She goes across the glacier and starts down. It takes several days, and she is listed as missing. The Colonel and officer Jones find her.
Her car was rigged to blow when driven but discovered.
The Colonel finds a small but strong heat source on the mountain where Rage might have heard shots. it melts when they take it to study. Jones finds similar devices all over the world, they are talking to each other.
While they all try to discover the shooters, someone is buying coal power plants, working or not. A dark-head beauty in a Seattle Penthouse has charts of every power plant in the Americans and their ability to generate.
A magnet pulse from deep space pass through the earth and sun. In response the sun sends out a massive solar flare. Some nations heed the warning with only minutes to react.
The Madam in the Penthouse is the only game in town and has power to sell.

Chapter 1 The Mt. Rainier Hike
It is a rare event, a weather forecast with days of sunshine in Seattle. The beautiful, powerful red head is going hiking alone. The weather will be hot at the base, snow, and ice higher up. She is going well prepared with sunscreen, ice pick, steel cleats, dark glasses, and a set of small binoculars. Her backpack would bend a large man on a flat trail. Everything is in the trunk; it is a two-hour drive from home.
She arrives at the trailhead, gets a 3-day pass. She leaves the ranger’s station, goes to the car, and starts up the trail. She is in a good sweat after three hours and at the snow line.
She passes through the heavy forest, the meadows full of buttercups and a few doe and fawns. There are a few day-trippers this far, this early. She starts up the mountain where the trail has patches of snow off the side of the trail. The trail splits to the main, most traveled, and the other trail has more snow. She takes the snowy trail and moves out.
Before the sun sets on a sunny day, she is at a small campsite with no one present. Off the trail, the snow is about a foot deep. The trail has been snow packed the last mile. She sets up the camp, prepares supper before the Sun sets. It turns rather cool as the Sun leaves. She puts on a full body suit for the sleeping bag.
After breakfast, she gears up for some serious snow and ice climbing. In half a day the snow is two feet deep, the path is no longer anything but a distant line. The next campsite is nothing but a rocky ledge and an overhang. She eats, ties everything down and sleeps well
At daybreak, she thinks ‘is that smoke further up the mountain? No one would carry wood this far for a fire.’
She says to herself, I have felt no earthquakes, so it could not be the mountain. That must be near the path that went the other way. There is no way to get there from here.
Near noon, her long ice pick is being used to a good advantage. In the cold clear air with no movement, she hears several pops. They appear to come from the right side of the mountain and higher up. She sees a faint glare for a second like the sun off a glass. She wonders but the ice pick is busy, and she needs to focus on the chopping. A false step here is not a good thing.
She stops for lunch and can see nothing or anyone. Then there is a pop then another pop. She has no choice but to go to the next campsite. She wonders
