The race for the last of the planet’s resources has begun

Lord Francis Butler ruthlessly leads a group of billionaire businessmen in their quest to control the last of the planet's resources. Driven on by the discovery of a methane release that could alter the world's sea-level, with catastrophic consequences, they will stop at nothing to secure their wealth and fortunes. Will their actions help the world to preserve the remaining resources, or are their motives more sinister?

Sergeant Kyle Gibbs is a disgruntled Scotsman, who after serving as an SAS team leader for a disintegrating British Government, jumps at the opportunity to become a mercenary for this secret Billionaires Club.

After a failed incursion into an oil-rich country, Gibbs, and his team are left at the mercy of the African Continent as they scramble to get back to England and find out which one of their paymasters set them up to fail.

With the initial signs of climate change affecting London, they race through the poverty-stricken city streets, trying to expose the traitor.

I read the prequel to this series, Floodlanders, some while ago, and I spent a while wondering when the young man in that would appear. He turned up in book two. I enjoy a bit of this kind of gritty, ruthless action adventure sometimes, especially when the group of Good Guys wins. I enjoyed this first book in the series so that I had to read the second, Phoenix. The series tells the story of Kyle Gibbs, who suffers brutality at the hands of his drunken father until, as a young teenager he leaves to join the army. He becomes a mercenary, fighting some very nasty characters. But - he suffers grief and heartbreak on the way, and book 2, Phoenix, ended on a happy note. When I read in info on book 3 it said that he suffers personal heartbreak once again, and I decided not to bother going on to that one, since after everything that happens in the first two books I felt enough was enough and preferred to leave the series when, after everything he suffers in his life, he is finally happy. Men might enjoy finishing the series, going through more with Kyle and what's left of his loyal group of ex army mercenary friends, but personally, I'd enjoyed the two I've read and liked the end of book two as it was.

Here in this book there is new concept of the future. May be distant in future, but not more than 50 years,such situation will arise. Very nice story line. Gripped through the end. Very fast pace. In such plot of story only climate and situation is hero, you only has to select on which side you are; either on selfish side or to perish. There is no third alternative. Every one must read this book to anticipate coming days. Nice.

I was hooked from the beginning and had a hard time putting this book down. The storyline was well thought out and very well written. The characters are well developed and engaging. This is a fast-paced action thriller that will keep you turning pages until the very end. I enjoyed this novel very much and would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-stop action thriller up against the threat of climate change
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2015

Here’s an action packed thriller that is paced very well with non-stop adventure and happenings. Kyle Gibbs tries to navigate the motives of billionaire businessmen, all as the ravages of climate change overpower the Earth. You’ll enjoy this Scottish character, and his co-horts, as they zip about London, Africa and often do battle with baddies who have power-hungry agendas. I enjoyed the descriptions in the final scenes, and was surprised to discover where Gibbs ends up (read the book to find out where) and how he handles the situation.

Gibbs makes for an entertaining hero of a character and is well developed by the writer. You’ll come to understand his tough exterior and be intrigued at how he will handle each new, challenging, threat to the planet and his own existence.

This fighter will not bore you.

I enjoyed the inclusion of climate change in the storyline and how this threat to the earth may play out in political and powerful arenas. It made me speculate about the world order that we may all, in the real-world, face as our Earth’s environment changes. Who will control the resources? Whoever does most certainly has control over all people? It is a frightening scenario, but one I feel we should take heed of and explore in fiction works like this book, and others in this emerging cli-fi genre. The writer has done very well here in enlightening readers, as well as keeping them turning the pages.

Really fast paced action that never lets up, and a tale that weaves and races from one adventure to the next. A truly interesting projection of our planet's predicament. This novel sets the launching pad - can't wait to read the next instalment.
