Immediately afterwards he finds himself lured into a fishing expedition in Costa Rica by his astute Comanche brother-in-law, Sonny (Buffalo Hump) a lieutenant colonel and a seasoned scout with U.S.Army Intelligence. Once in San Jose, Sonny enlists Michael to strike up an acquaintanceship with Staniford Murtha, an unscrupulous CIA dropout our government suspects of fomenting a revolution against the progressive government in Costa Rica so that U.S. mining interests can grab off and exploit gold and diamond-mining properties. Suddenly, issues revolving around climate change and the environment weigh heavy for Michael, Sonny, and the natives of San Jose. Murtha and his backers are relentless in their ambitions; To get clearance to grab the Central American mines they are plotting to tip the U.S. Supreme Court by taking out a faltering old liberal, Grover -- Lefty -- Stynhenge by corrupting his hefty, self-serving latest wife so that the Court's conservative majority can clear the way. Michael and Sonny barely arrive in time to intervene and provoke the thrilling finale. So you think you've got climate change worries?
