About the Book

The year is 2062 and humanity has reached the "tipping point" of which the world's scientists had warned. A global blanket of CO2 has raised temperatures so much that ice sheets melted, seas rose, coral died, species migrated, and farms became poisoned by salt water. And, no matter what mankind could now do, the blanket and its effects would last for hundreds of years. The few feet of ocean rise will be succeeded by a return to seas historically two hundred feet higher than currently. Droughts, floods, and mass human die-offs will initiate wars. A bright physics student invents a way to travel faster than light so that humanity may escape from the horrors of global warming. He must persuade his peers, fight deniers, and combat rising oceans, all the while managing a complex love life.
About the Author: Author Biography Before college, Mr. Warren served in the U.S. Navy, where he acted as a radiological safety monitor at the Bikini atom bomb tests. Afterwards, he attended the University of California at Los Angeles, the London School of Economics, and Harvard. He started his career working for Lockheed, soon specialized in selling aircraft to Southwest Asia. In that activity, he contacted the highest political levels, including the Indian Prime Minister and his cabinet. Mr. Warren capped his international experience with a two-year stint in the Department of State. He ran the Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System of the Agency of International Development. There, he secured a privileged view of world economic, demographic, and political trends. After leaving Washington, Mr. Warren became Director of Market Research for Lockheed Missiles and Space in Sunnyvale, California. The products were strategic missiles and satellites. In 1975, Martin Marietta recruited Mr. Warren to serve as Director of Aerospace Market Research. He soon became Director of Strategic Planning for the Electronics and Missiles Division in Orlando, Florida. He joined a small team that built the 2,600 man Division into a Group that employed 16,000 people. Mr. Warren worked directly with military leaders in the Pentagon, laboratories, and using commands. He helped perform system analyses of future battles in order to determine the requirement for new weapon systems. He developed new business budgets of over $70 million a year, half in advanced research and development. As a result of his management team´s work, Martin led the precision guidance revolution demonstrated in Desert Storm. Mr. Warren's company proposed, designed, and built the fire control systems of the F16E and Apache, as well as the Patriot and Hellfire missiles used in the desert. Training in scenario development and technology forecasting, coupled with Mr. Warren´s long-term interest in history, has led to constructing realistic future worlds for science fiction. Now retired, Mr. Warren lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife. He has two sons and is a community leader, being past president of both the Orlando Science Center and Civic Theater. Still intellectually curious, his present interests involve recent research on the brain and the promise of genetic engineering. He writes hard science fiction in those fields, along with futuristic military adventures.
