If you're New Mexico rancher Miles Waddell, you build a dream. Waddell's dream is NightZone, an astronomy-based theme park complete with giant radio telescope, a bank of smaller scopes linked to a theater, five-star dining in a restaurant with retracting dome ceiling, a hotel\/resort, tram car access, and a narrow gauge steam locomotive to carry tourists to the mesa top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the dream becomes a nightmare when two eco-terrorists chain-saw down power lines that feed the development. One of them is killed by a bucking power pole; the other escapes by car. From 20 miles away, retired Posadas Sheriff William K. Gastner spots a pair of headlights as the dead man's companion speeds from the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoon charges include murder when the fleeing conspirator is stopped by a cop and guns the lawman down.
