Timely Subgenre - Environmental Thrillers



Since global warming and going green are on everyone's mind, the subgenre of environmental or eco thrillers has surfaced. These novels develop plots around mankind's concern over what is happening with our planet.
The action filled thriller, Green Power, addresses this anxiety. The novel starts with a demonstration to close down a nuclear power plant. The protagonist, Dr. Ray Pendleton who led the protest, goes on to set up methane digesters on dairy farms. The antagonist, Dirk Hendrckson, loses his job as head of security after the nuclear power plant closes down. Dirk and his fellow Delta Valley militiamen are bent on destroying the professor and his alternate energy project. Bioterrorism is suspected when an epidemic breaks out, pointing to one of the methane power sources as the cause.
