Daniel's parents were active conservationists who met, married, and had a son while still at college. As devoted eco-warriors with a strong love of life, they traveled around the world taking young Daniel with them to protest everything from deforestation and whale hunting to corruption and injustice. An accident when he was twelve cost him his parents and left him in the care of a relative. Daniel retreated from people and found happiness in the woods and mountains. A Surprising discovery during a cliff climb opened up a universe of possibilities to him. With that discovery, the question he now faced was what should an environmentally conscious loner do when he stumbles upon the most dangerous intelligent tool in the universe?
Earth's Doomsday clock was ticking away faster than ever before. Daniel had watched and done what he could to slow it down. But for a world set on destroying itself, how could anyone stop it by themselves? He thought watching was all Hawk could do, but how wrong he was. Hawk was so much more than just an observer. With Hawk's power, Daniel could finally do something about the source of the problem. It was now time to stop watching and start changing things.
