A Tree in the Wind employs excitement, adventure, mystery, the paranormal, police and CIA involvement, science fiction, and even romance. The two adventurers, Redhawk and Thomas Kenyon, search for a long-hidden gold treasure in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona with the intention of returning it to Redhawkas people, the Natala Indians, whose ancestors hid it there many generations ago. In the process they encounter hostile military forces, allies from the same source, and resistance from Native American customs and beliefs. Through the use of out-of-body travel, they accomplish their purpose. In the process, they also discover the existence of something far greater than their intended goalaalien technology. U.S. Air Force Colonel Gordon L. Montgomery joins forces with them to become one of their greatest allies, but will he also sacrifice his long military career for what he believes to be a great injustice on the part of the Air Force and the U.S. Government?
