“Indiana Jones meets Greta Thunberg! This is the action -adventure story for the reader who understands that ‘global warming’ may be the single most important problem facing us today. Yeager’s capactity for describing the finest details of his settings, whether on Chincoteague Island, in fht eforests of Brazil, or the deserts of Northern Mexico, creates a full blown “movie-in-you-head,” and is it ever fun to watch! [The author’s] rare combination of environmental expertise and political/diplomatic acumen provides the essential grist for a story that’s at the very heart of the fight to protect the earth.”
“Read this one slowly – for the pleasure of savoring each page.”
“A ripping good adventure tale. [Watch as] our hero takes on Mexican cartels, confronts Washington bureaucrats, and heads to Brazil to fight fires and illegal loggers in the Amazon.”
