Product Description
America is unprepared for the coming fury of hurricanes, drought and flood intensified by global warming. Aaron Woods, the graying single father of a troubled pre-teen adopted son, is determined to directly confront the responsible industries by organizing a boycott of SPECO, the largest of the oil giants. The new executive director of the Natural America Club, Tony Albritton, seizes on Aaron’s idea to push himself and NAC to national prominence. Tony’s energetic assistant, Wendy Sparks, develops a campaign that quickly becomes the seed for a growing movement. The confrontation of idealistic activists, cynical Washington power brokers and ruthless agents of SPECO sucks them all into a deadly vortex of anger and emotion. Passion flares as lives intertwine in a heated conflict of competing values. Strengths, weaknesses, longings and fears are bared as the pages race to a climax that tests the limits of commitment and will leave you breathless.
