It makes a bit of a political statement but more depth was needed especially given the idea of weather manipulation. There could have been more excitement related to that as well as better character development. Just ok. ( ) According to Chricton, there is no global warming happening. In fact, he makes a case for the opposite, global cooling. The premise of the book is that various eco-terror groups are making lots of money from spreading the fear of global warming and are even manufacturing disasters that look like natural disasters that can then be blamed on global warming. I’ll let the reader decide if this is fantasy or just fiction. Because I felt the overall tone is rather preachy and overly forceful, I’m downgrading this to just three stars. Actually, the writing was not that great either, but the action kept pulling me along. For a real mind twist, try reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s Forty Signs of Rain either before or after this. Robinson states an equally compelling view that the coming global warming is both more imminent and severe than we are being told. no reviews | add a review
