"As a huge fan of modern climate fiction, it was exciting to see the action-thriller genre taking up the mantle in this excellent work by author Tom Clark." - KC Finn, Author, for Readers' Favorite As the world burns and floods, humanity stares into the abyss of climate apocalypse... but hey, a planet is a small sacrifice for a few more years of profits and executive bonuses. Meet the Fossilarchy, the fossil fuel industry and its political cronies, cause of the climate crisis, doyen of denial. All-powerful, it has captured government and nations. Ever-growing, it won't stop until it has consumed the Earth. In this epic tale of revenge, power, greed and travel, some start to think the unthinkable: Only sabotage will save the world. But it will be dangerous. How can it be done without detection and retribution? Don't miss this fast-paced, action-packed thriller set against a global backdrop and the horror-comedy show of Australian climate politics. "Engrossing.... the tension ebbs and flows throughout... descriptions of the Australian landscape and surrounding waters are picture-perfect....... a gripping and timely environmental tale with a combustible mix of deadly elements ~ Kirkus Book Reviews.
