About the Book

Is Drop Duncan too nice, too soft to assume control of the teetering agriculture syndicate he stands to inherit?

In a future world where environmental disaster, wars and disease have reduced humans to wisps of their former selves-in numbers, in size, in vigor-crop failures in the remnants of New York may soon destroy the powerful syndicates that rule walled-in Manhattan.

Tasked with undertaking a quest to discover a seed bank in Antarctica, where descendants of banished scientists now reside, Drop leads an expedition of rivals and misfits on a land journey to the end of the Earth, facing unimaginable dangers in scarred regions to which no New Yorker has traveled in generations.

His friends are along for the ride, but so are his enemies-including ones he doesn't suspect. A handful of others-an intersex pipeline rider, a budding boy scientist, and their unpredictable companions-may make the difference between success and failure, between life and death.

Grounded in science, this page-turning fantasy quest novel, set in a future dystopia that's all too possible, thrills with nonstop high-stakes action while evoking deep dread at the plausibility of it all. There is no magic in this world but the magic of the human heart. Will that suffice for Drop to triumph and save humanity?

Why am I independently publishing this book?

Although written as entertainment, this novel addresses a grave problem that humanity must face with urgency. Although I've published at times with mainstream publishers, their wheels just turn too slowly to support the gravity of this moment.

J.E. Fishman is an Amazon bestselling author in several genres, including mystery, thriller, police procedural, and, under the pen name Dana I. Wolff, horror. He conceived We Once Were Giants as the capstone of his recent Master of Environmental Studies degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Fishman also writes a Substack newsletter on the subject of Backyard Stewardship.
