Publisher's Synopsis
'Respected TV scientist and special advisor to the British Government Rod Gilmour is about to address the Kyoto 3 summit, maybe the last chance for the World to come together to save itself from the most extreme effects of runaway climate change. Will he say what needs to be said to kick start a binding agreement? Estranged son Jason Hughes doesn't think so. He teams up with environmental activist Coyote to implement a plan to force the issue. Thirty years later, Jason joins an international team charged with reversing the catastrophic warming he feels his father failed to prevent. Racked with remorse over his own failure to influence his father, the chance discovery by a physicist friend of enigmatic sub-atomic particles called phasons seems to offer him the astounding possibility of a second chance to influence his father back through time. Meanwhile, old accomplice Coyote hatches a plan which will force world leaders to confront the climate change issue once and for all, but at the horrific cost of tens of thousands of lives. In a race both against Coyote and the phasons that are inexorably splintering his psyche, Hughes embarks on his own desperate plan, unaware that if he is successful, as well as risking his own life, he may just wipe the planet from history.' This is Steve Good's debut novel; a fast paced cross-genre eco-thriller set in two distinct time periods. It follows the fortunes of Jason Hughes as he attempts to force initially his own father and then the whole world to face an impending ecological catastrophe which will change the face of the planet forever. Will he succeed?
