The First Element

By Mark James Regan

The fuel cell. After years of costly research and testing the technology is finally ready for market, and promises to be the savior of a world quickly depleting its natural resources. The fuel cell has proven to be an affordable, renewable and environmentally friendly means of feeding the world's voracious hunger for energy. With concern growing throughout the industrialized world about the continued stability of crude oil supplies and no end in sight to soaring gasoline prices, the fuel cell's entrance onto the world stage as a means for powering automobiles could not have come at a better time. Or could it? The CEOs of the world's three largest oil companies don't necessarily embrace the idea of the fuel cell replacing the internal combustion engine. Realizing that they are on the verge of losing billions in revenue, they decide to take action.

The First Element

From the first Chapter to the final page The First Element has the reader captured. Even though I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, an expert on the technology of fuel cells vs. combustion engines, I was never lost in technicalogical jargon. The story is gripping, a true page turner. I'll be anxiously waiting to read Mr. Regan's next novel.
