Book Cover & Preview Text
Dropping anchor the boat settled to the easy swell as they slipped into the water and dove to two meters where they could see the pre inundation shore level three meters below them. Small fishing huts, a wharf and jetty, a few abandoned vehicles and several old fishing boats gave a surreal tableau when seen through a veil of dappled sunshine. Schools of fish of all shapes, colors and sizes swirled back and forth. Beds of seaweed and soft coral covered the seabed which before had been barren desert. It now had a green lushness it had hitherto never enjoyed.
They swam along the breakwater, the concrete fingers of the giant Jacks now barely recognizable being so covered in weed and coral. It was plain to see the attraction for the fish, the whole food chain was there, all thriving and eating each other. Such was nature.
Max reflected that when ‘they’ came, all this would be thrown into turmoil.

About the Book
It is January 2112 and fifty years since global warming moved far past its tipping point. Max and his soul mate, Ann, are partners in Aqua4, an innovative company that uses the Space Elevator as part of a system to purify seawater and offset the planet’s rapidly rising sea levels. As their vacation ends in the Straits of Hormuz, they learn the moon bases want more water and that Mars is their new project.
While the world continues to unite to formulate solutions to the environmental crisis, Max and Ann board their spaceship and blast toward the Luna2 station in the geostationary orbit above the Pacific to resume their work. After docking at his company’s headquarters, Max and his team begin to draw up the plans to send freshwater to Mars. But as he becomes immersed in a deadly game of strategy where he must outwit those who lurk in the shadows of space, now only time will tell if Max’s efforts to create a new habitable world will ever come to fruition.
In this futuristic science-fiction adventure, an environmental entrepreneur and his team tirelessly work in a space station above Earth in an attempt to solve irreversible global warming challenges created by human activity.
