Summary
From bestselling Australian author and environmental scientist Ian Irvine comes a chillingly realistic thriller that will have you asking: Is there life after global warming?
Hercus Barges, a middle-aged failure embittered about ruinous climate change, is planning the ultimate crime: the destruction of western civilisation. And he knows just how to do it. Hercus attempts to blackmail his old friend Ryn Hardey into helping him, for they share a terrible secret from their student days.
Ryn canāt stop Hercus without implicating himself, but Hercus wonāt take no for an answer. And Ryn has another urgent problem. His research on Antarctic ice sheet melting is showing alarming results and he canāt work out why.
Then Hercusā secret gets out, and itās worth a fortune to a doomsday ecological cult. Soon Ryn and his partner Jemma are on the run from ruthless eco-terrorists and professional hitmen. As Ryn struggles to work out what will happen when the ice melts, Jemma tries to uncover Hercusā catastrophic plan ā before itās too late.
Global warming, unstoppable climate change and environmental terrorism collide in The Last Albatross ā Book One in the shatteringly prophetic Human Rites trilogy.
