Robbie is having the time of his life. He will never be the same again, after he learns some of the Menehune's well-kept secrets. Only after his return to civilization, however, does he fully realize how much he's changed. He can hear people's thoughts, know their hidden motives and learn their darkest secrets. It is a terrifying experience.
Needless to say, he doesn't fit into his old lifestyle. Robbie withdraws from the world. He can't stand having shallow people around him.
One day, Robbie and his friend are caught in a traffic jam. The freeway is full of rushing, irritated people. A brutal encounter takes place, and Rob's friend gets shot. He dies in Robbie's arms. Robbie has had enough. He wants to go back to Kauai. He wants to help the Menehune protect their land. Who else could be their spokesman, their ambassador to the outside world? "Star Wars" launching projects, hydroelectric and geothermal systems, violate the land, pervert the Life Force. Blinded in their race for more energy, more money, more power, the developers miss the most vital point of all. If they don't respect and cooperate with Nature, but rape and use her for their shortsighted goals, they virtually cut the branch they sit on. Someone has to open their eyes. Robbie is in for one hell of a job.
Mana is a funny, thought-provoking, fast paced adventure story, dedicated to all those who love the land and care for the environment . It will show you the world in a different light.
