"In 1893, a diplomat of the United States and 162 US Marines helped overthrow the government of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Five years later, an act of Congress unilaterally annexed the islands. At the time, President Grover Cleveland admitted mistakes had been made, and tried to restore the Hawaiian Monarchy to Queen Lili'uokalani. Sadly, he was unsuccessful. A hundred years later, President Bill Clinton formally apologized for the actions of the United States. Yet today, Hawaiian pleas for justice are still unresolved. Now, two genetic engineers have found a way to force the United States to give back the islands, and they've given notice that all non-Hawaiians must get out or die. Sarah Kiley is one of a few thousand pure-blooded Hawaiians who stand to inherit Hawaii under the scientists' plan. While investigating the murder of a friend, she finds herself a key player on the inter-agency task force that's trying to stop them. Given the opportunity to change the history of her people and return their stolen sovereignty, she must decide which side will win"--P. [4] of cover.
