How far is too far? How late is too late? Has planet earth already passed the point of no return? And for the sake of its very salvation, does humanity have the courage to change centuries of religious dogma, political expediency, and social tradition? These are the fateful questions that frame G. P. Hardy s gripping, fast-lane novel of looming environmental disaster and human extinction. The burden weighs heaviest on the scientists in the story who have made a realistic tally of the coming finalities. Not a burden of proof, for the evidence overwhelms all willing to look at it honestly, but of persuasion, for theirs is a message that political pundits and religious powers refuse to hear, much less to heed. Nowhere is it more powerfully apparent than in Seven Angels of Wrath that the misuse of conventional powers runs an ugly parallel course to the abuse of the earth s environmental resources. The debate over global warming has long been joined, but until now the warning voices have sounded too effetely academic, too cozily intellectual, or too brazenly political to preach to many beyond their own intramural choirs. In G. P. Hardy we hear a different kind of voice with a very different intonation. He speaks from real world experience that includes ranching, hunting, the courtroom, and one of the toughest arenas around: Texas politics and power. We may yawn when yet another academic or politician sets out to instruct us, but when a man like G. P. Hardy speaks, we had best sit up and listen. For this reason, Seven Angels of Wrath is worth reading, not only for its literary merits, which are considerable, but also for its meaning, which is critical. More than a novel, this is also a summary brief of life and death. Only to our peril can we afford to ignore its message.

About the Author
G. P. Hardy, III is a noted trial lawyer who began his career with the prestigious law firm of Vinson & Elkins of Houston, Texas. Later he founded his own firm and became renowned for scores of lucrative courtroom successes. Descended from a pioneer South Texas family, Hardy developed his interest in wildlife and environmental preservation as a rancher and avid outdoorsman and as a successful attorney in toxic tort cases and products liability trials. Handling cases in Alaska, he observed massive environmental deterioration firsthand, which led to his involvement with citizens groups concerned with industrial and greenhouse emissions and their environmental impact. A global traveler in his work as an attorney and concerned environmentalist, Hardy has brought together in Angels of Wrath the deadly interplay of the political, religious, and ethical forces that may have already pushed the earth beyond the point of no return on the road to destruction.

A Story With A Warning!,
This review is from: Angels of Wrath (Hardcover)
Who among us has not heard the warning and felt the uncertainty of our earth's future because of 'global warming?' How many of us fully understand the impact that it is having on our earth and will have within the lives of future generations? Is it as serious as some beat the drums to bring to our attention or can we truly believe that the earth will continue supporting life forever as it does now?
In this novel by author G.P. Hardy III we are taken into the very heart of this matter as scientist, who have developed a computer which they call Wormwood, and one that shows the terrifying outcome of future earth, face the shocking reality of what is about to occur on plant earth and how it will effect and is effecting every giving of life function on our planet. The conclusions are literally earth shattering! And as they present their findings to the leaders of our nation they fearfully await the course of action that they will take and silently pray it will be the right one. This is a subject matter that isn't pleasant to think about but our author G.P. Hardy helps us to take a hard look at our possible future and does it in a fast paced, interesting novel that holds your attention and gives you knowledge in a storyline that certainly does have the potential to unfold before our eyes, in reality, in the future of planet earth. God help us all! Certainly a novel that is well worth your time and one that will be a true eye-opener.I applaud the author for undertaking a very controversial subject matter and bringing it to light in a way that will not bring forth a yawn but a far better understanding.
