Description
In the year 2006, the earth's climate suddenly becomes hotter & it's evident to scientist Jonathan Holmes that the earth is in the grip of a powerful runaway greenhouse effect. As Christmas approaches, America is barren of snow. Instead, strange summer-like thunderstorms appear around the country. When the U.S. Navy reports that the icepack of Antarctica is melting & that America will lose its coasts including many major cities, the President orders the Pentagon to initiate Operation Safeharbor, a top secret global warming contingency plan. As America's military forces move into action, a group of radical environmentalists called the Defenders of the Planet embark on their own violent mission. Jonathan Holmes warns that the earth faces even more drastic changes & supports the need for radical action. Believing he is connected to the environmental terrorists, the FBI arrests him. Later released from jail, Holmes faces danger from an entirely new direction & as he escapes from his pursuers he is helped by the one group of people who know he is telling the truth. HOT PLANET is an action-packed serious novel for readers of all ages. Distributors: THE BOOKPEOPLE (800) 999-4650; PACIFIC PIPELINE (800) 444-7323.
