| Publisher Description: The irreversible onslaught by a type of bacteria that feeds on crude oil and thrives in an environment without air is destroying America's oil. It has been ingeniously introduced into our oil fields by agents of the government of Iran. The CEO of the world's largest agrichemical corporation creates a research team whose mission is to find a new way to produce automotive grade ethanol. They discover a newly issued patent, pore over its process description and make a flying visit to a working pilot plant. The unit makes ethanol using only the carbon dioxide and water present in the air we are breathing as its raw material. The Chinese are ready to test the first of twenty enormous moving factories built to produce synthetic crude oil from their vast fields of soft coal. Their full implementation of this project will double the world's level of carbon dioxide with disastrous effect on global warming. It is in this maelstrom of chaos and opportunity that President Thomas Garner finds himself. Follow the President as he maneuvers his way through this nightmare of challenge and opportunity, changing the economics and geopolitics of our world forever |
