To be hip about Hawaii, this book needs to be read and understood. Early Polynesian Wayfarers used navigational stars to guide them across the Pacific. Travel from Tahiti and Bora Bora used specific navigational stars to sail to Hawaii. Once landed in Hawaii, navigational stars not needed for navigation any more, were turned into calendar stars. Monuments were built to honor their rising and setting places. This knowledge is etched in stone in that Heiau were built on straight ley lines to one another and significant landforms so this knowledge would never be lost. The main character Rono, is favored by Hawaiians Spirits and the Aumakuas because of a connection to Lono Makua, the Hawaiian God for rain, fertility, agriculture and peace. These Spiritual entities protect and take revenge if necessary for Rono. Unfortunately there are fatalities when Hawaiian Spirits are summoned by Rono to inflict pain upon a University of Hawaii grad student and fatalities resulting in the bad part of the Secret of the Heiau is also of Rono's doing. Rono is teaching his grandson, Lono, everything he knows about Heiau and the rituals performed there while explaining the complexities and idiosyncrasies of being a timekeeper kahuna stuck in the days and ways of the People of Old but living in the modern world. Rono knows Hawaiian Spirits have taken an interest in Lono and when Lono gets angry at his brother, his brother is critically injured, and made handicap for life. More evidence of spiritual protection is when a security guards mishandled Lono and has a fatal accident. After this Lono knows how important it is to control his anger. And Lono is full of questions. Whenever Lono asks his grandfather specific questions about space and astronomy, Rono always brakes down. Lono knows even though the Secret of the Heiau is to make Hawaiians realize how smart are the people they come from and how smart they must really be, he knows there is a very bad part to it. A romance develops with a beautiful Japanese lady, thirty years Rono’s junior. She is infatuated with Rono’s knowledge of the hidden Hawaii. It seems this lady is the answer to Rono’s Vision Quest he had when he was a young man in the State of Maine. Over time this evolves into a lover’s dream but the bad part could very well drive Rono’s lover away This bad part has lots of bad karma associated with it and takes Rono’s absolute peace and true happiness away from him. There are many life’s lesson and unique native perspective in the Secret of the Heiau.
