Book Overview
Emma Tooke is a brilliant executive who has devoted her life to Gulfstream, a green company dedicated to harvesting clean energy and low-cost food from the sea. To keep the project alive, she risks her career fighting corporate treachery, and her life battling the fury of a killer hurricane. But suddenly Emma faces a threat greater than any she's ever encountered - a band of extremist vigilantes calling themselves, Wild Justice, who have embarked on a campaign of terrorism against corporate polluters, accusing them of crimes against the earth. To Wild Justice, a corporate endeavor like Gulfstream is all the more evil for the hope it raises - that an American energy corporation can be a force for environmental reform. So Wild Justice has targeted Gulfstream, using an old flame of Emma's to get past her defenses, and the project's. As the clock ticks toward the zero hour, Emma must join forces with a man who may have betrayed her in a desperate struggle to save her life's work from certain destruction.

Future Aventure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
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!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
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.
