Hostile Climate by Jon Pepper is a thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of the contentious issues surrounding climate change, media bias, misguided activism, and political ambition.
Pepper’s witty dialogue electrifies the central rivalry between Lindsey Harper Crowe, a savvy energy executive, and Felicity Redfeather, the New York State attorney general whose childlike grasp of the energy industry is matched only by her fierce determination to claim the governor’s office via fossil fuel demonization.
Their razor-sharp exchanges are unapologetically direct, underscoring a battle that feels as personal as it is political.
Lindsey Crowe is also a captivating protagonist, weathering storms of media scrutiny, eco-harassment, and betrayals from family members co-opted by activists, all while defending her company and core values.
The stakes are heightened as a massive winter storm looms over New York City, with the controversial decision to hand the reins of a natural gas plant into the hands of “the people”, i.e., Redfeather’s eco-justice warriors.
Pepper unpacks in clear, accessible detail exactly what would happen if we “just stop oil”—or, in this case, natural gas.
Drawing from real-world scenarios, Pepper crafts a plot that feels disturbingly plausible and urgently relevant. The suspense is palpable, keeping readers hooked as they root for—or against—these formidable women.
Pepper’s skill in weaving an engaging, thought-provoking story shines through, making Hostile Climate a must-read for anyone interested in a gripping, contemporary narrative that reflects today’s environmental and political landscape.
In this fifth novel of the Fossil Feuds series, Pepper once again delivers a nuanced, dramatic take on one of the most pressing issues of our time.
This title will be available on November 19, 2024, for preorder at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Google Books, or your favorite bookstore. See the full list at Jon Pepper Books.
