Brief Commentary

This is a science fiction novel that is reality right now. The book starts out with a massive heat wave that lasted for weeks and killed thousands in India.

The world comes together to fight climate change....but there is an undercurrent of climate terrorism that stops airplanes from flying (they are being shot down), gas powered cars are destroyed and even the killing of those opposed to stopping the activities that cause climate change.

Draconian measures are needed to keep people alive. Will they succeed?

This story is all too plausible. Slightly optimistic. While being a warning for all.

It tends to drag a bit from time to time....but if you want to read a "real" horror story....this is it.
