Future Aventure

Set in a future when the sea level has risen enough to cause a shortage of land, the story is set on a floating city off the east coast of the USA. Apart form that it is an adventure story. Lots of corporate self interest with murders and bombs. It is a good read, different from Jumper, the protagonists are older, and it rolls along quite nicely.GREENWAR: AN ENVIRONMENTAL THRILLER

Good Book -- Read It Soon!

This is a very good book. It's an eco-thriller, based on a deep-sea energy generation platform whose engineering and economics seem far more believable than, say, NASA's chances of occupying a new space station on-time and on-budget; science fiction, but set in the *very* near future. There are good good-guys, and bad bad-guys, and good bad-guys, and bad good-guys: lot's of character development motivated by ethical conflict. There's also a generous dose of Man vs. Nature, handled, I thought, fairly well. Although I don't scuba dive, the underwater sequences seemed very believable. I've reread this book several times now, and I'm glad I got it in hardcover. If you've gotten this far in this review, I think you'll like this book, too.
