Customer Reviews

Disaster thriller will have you burning through the pages.

Weather abnormalities lead a group of (U.S.) government scientists to a horrifying discovery, the constant polluting of the enviroment has triggered a green house effect that will, come summertime, literally bake thousands of people to death. Herzog extrapolates the effects of the disaster nicely, although many today will find the character and political intrigue rather cliche. Nonetheless it remains a good disaster thriller worth checking out. Recommended.
