In 2030, human civilization is faced with almost certain extermination. Weather patterns have become more extreme. Super storm after super storm pops up without warning. Some cities and even some smaller nations have become uninhabitable. Some say it is a man-made issue, others claim it is natural. To those losing family members, to those whose lives are destroyed, it doesn’t matter what caused it, they only care about how to make it stop.
The public is demanding action. In the U.S., politicians are under pressure to act swiftly. Conservationist groups lobby for ending the use of fossil fuels, while Corporate interests lobby for retaining full exploitation of fossil resources.

Human nature creates unforeseen conflicts on a scale that have globally tragic effects. Just when she thinks that she has the whole thing under control, a terrorist strike threatens to take it all away. Can Doctor Hallbar save humanity from Mother Nature as well as human kind’s interpersonal struggles?
Can a chaotic system as complex as the climate of an entire planet be influenced by man at all? Can she find a way to make that influence positive? Can she control the weather well enough to stop the tragedies that are destroying the lives of millions of people?

This book is a highly entertaining, fast moving novel about events that threaten the existence of humans as the dominant species on Earth, and how one scientist leads humanity to respond.
In 2029 Emma Hallbar is looking forward to visiting her parents on vacation in Tahiti. Before she can travel, Cyclone Cladis, a superstorm 1,800 miles across, strikes Tahiti, and tragically ends those holiday plans with massive destruction that includes the violent death of Emma’s parents. The tragedy inspires her to work toward a solution to the climate change problem that is widely blamed for creating more violent storms than ever before. These superstorms and the rising sea level have attracted the attention of the world as millions of people are affected by tragic climate change disasters.
The solution that Emma creates will require the most expensive science project in history. As the daughter of an academy award winning actress, her fame and public image enable her to attract widespread public attention on television, and with it, the attention of political leaders around the world. After working through the science and political infrastructure of first the U.S., and then the U.N, the project to save the planet begins. The solution to reduce the effects of the increase in global greenhouse gases places thousands of giant sunshades in space at a Lagrange point in line with the Sun, one million miles from the Earth.
Initial success and optimism abound as the system stabilizes the average temperature of the planet in the 2040’s. The climate begins to return to the earlier, less violent weather of the target date of 2020. But the Earth’s climate is far more complex than that of a simple greenhouse, and the massively tragic consequences of that fact add new challenges for the ever-resourceful Dr. Emma Hallbar.
This book represents the first in an upcoming series of novels by Optical Society of America Fellow Devon G. Crowe and #1 Bestselling author Timothy Imholt.
