Book Description

Some day in the not-so-distant future, you're going to be eating an ice cream sandwich at Hagan Das or drinking your favorite Pina Colada at Margaritaville. If you're with a group of friends or family, you're laughing, joking, enjoying a nice Spring day. Suddenly, you feel a dull thud under your feet and the ground shakes violently in a way that you've never felt before. You look up and notice a huge mushroom cloud rising up into the sky making it darker and darker. Then, you notice a brilliant reddish-orange wall of light coming at you and actually melting cars, trucks and buildings and blowing the smithereens all over the place in all directions. You realize that it is moving so fast, there is no way that you and your family and friends can get out of the way. As you take in the startled, surprised and shocked look on the faces of those around you, you notice a slight twinge and then you are no more. As the orange wall of heat reaches you, you are incinerated along with everyone and everything you have known as part of your reality. OR the only other Alternative Reality: The weather has gotten warmer and warmer to the point that many people around you have begun to wear space suits. They are totally covered from head to foot in a pressurized and air-conditioned suit complete with a helmet that provides enough oxygen for the wearer to live and breathe comfortably. You can't afford such a Climate Suit, as they are called, so you try to get your errands done even though you can barely breathe. You're sweating all over your body, but so is everyone else who is not wearing a Climate Suit, which is most people at the time. There is some relief at night, but even nights are hot enough so that you can't get any sleep unless you spray yourself with water every few minutes. You turn your air conditioning unit on its highest setting, but there is not enough electricity to keep it running for more than a few minutes because it's being rationed everywhere. Your best friend, the family dog has been put down because the heat is now too much for any furry animals and most of them are dying by the billions, their carcasses littering the streets. There is no one to pick up their bodies because no one has that much energy for non-essential things. The TV news tells you that the government is working feverishly on the problem of the growing heat wave. Gas powered cars and trucks have been abandoned long ago. So, part of the problem is that there is no industrial infrastructure any more that can construct enough solar panels and wind turbines because there isn't enough food for workers or electrical power to manufacture anything at this point and everyone knows it would just add to the growing pollution of the air. All the trees have died out, or been used for heating and cooking years ago, the only natural element that could have saved us. Everyone lives hour by hour expecting the President to come on TV and finally admit that these are the final days for the stubborn lot of remaining citizens to stay alive. Soon, all oxygen will be depleted. When the President finally comes on the air and starts to finally admit to these things. you can feel the last few molecules of oxygen as they leave your lungs and makes you gasp your last gasp. This is the TIME BOMB. It's ticking down right now to the end of our existence here on Planet Earth. There is hope, although it is a fading one, and only if everyone within the sound of my voice learns how to defuse this FINAL TIME BOMB and begins taking the necessary actions listed in this book that can and will stop it ticking STARTING NOW!
