The Delicate Balance

By Vicki Turpen and Shannon Horst

The Earth is dying--its life forms bound for extinction--unless the most fundamental of changes is made: Carbon-based fuels must be abandoned.

Chaos results--migrating hordes of starving people, abandoned hospitals and prisons (patients and inmates still inside), and deserted cities where only cockroaches still live.

But then Jesse Forester, the U.N. scientist responsible for the changes that survival demands, finds hints that the data at the core of the new global policy may be flawed. And murders start happening.

Rushing headlong into a frantic search for the truth, Jesse and his team discover pockets of people who are living rich and satisfying lives in Eden-like landscapes without any use of carbon fuels. As the plotters Jesse is seeking become more desperate, can these flourishing communities help avert humanity's slow death from the poisonous fruits of climate change growing at its doorstep?
