SCIENTIST IN THE DARK IBD

Sinopse

Novels can have power.áThey remind us of our responsibilities to planet Earth. That we remember the damage done by corrupt politicians and greedy developers, but so soon forgotten. Story telling is a valuable weapon in the fight for ecological health, and our battle against ongoing ecocide. ItâÇÖs why they demonize, ban, and even burn, such books, my friends.Good guy on the run because of his efforts to fight political environmental ecocide. Corrupt government pursuers. He falls in love with a brilliant female computer hacker. But will she save him?Talented eco-scientist, Dr. Jeb Newton, aka Fig, famous for his environmental research, his mathematical model, EcoWorld, and an awkward social manner, runs afoul of the narcissistic US President, John D. Miller. FigâÇÖs attacks on the administrationâÇÖs record of ecocide are not appreciated by the vengeful President, whoâÇÖs only concern is his ego. Like his heroine, Rachel Carson, of 'Silent Spring' fame, Fig, soon discovers that corrupt politicians, who donâÇÖt like inconvenient truths, will viciously attack any scientist who defines and then reports them.As a result, his life is threatened, and Fig goes underground to become an inept fugitive, until beautiful Jamie Bailey, a black hat hacker, walks into his life and evens the odds.FigâÇÖs life started to fall apart when he became the target of a government-sponsored conspiracy to silence all environmentalists. This resulted in Fig losing the job he loved. FigâÇÖs increasingly effective research on the dynamics of collapsing food chains across the globe, and widespread species extinctions by industrial activity, was not appreciated by corporate America. Nor by President Miller, whoâÇÖs policies are actively dismantling the work of the Environmental Protection Agency, the US EPA.The tools at FigâÇÖs disposal include mathematical simulation, logic, determination, limited social media skills, and patience. His strong English Mum told him to be true to himself, and that he could 'fight City Hall.' To evade his hired trackers, who are spying on his every move, Fig is forced to stay on the run, but the government is always watching, and then Jamie Bailey, in FigâÇÖs employ, starts to spy on them.This novel is based on real events, many experienced personally by the author, a scientist who, like Fig, loves all plant and animal life on our tiny planet, 'Spaceship Earth.' It was created to encourage our fight against corrupt government employees who promote ecocide, and as you surely know, the US President is a government employee.
