Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Emma Tooke, chief operations officer for Gulf Stream, a "green" company that harvests energy and food from the sea, is up to her ears in trouble, what with colleagues bribing state environmental officials, eco-terrorists intent on killing and destruction, and failed contract deals. Further, she is saddled with a new environmental manager, Keith Hellman, just as a huge hurricane bears down on Gulf Stream I, the company's main production facility, in the ocean off Melbourne, Fla. Hellman proves his worth when he helps Emma protect the facility against the hurricane and restore it to running order afterward. Together they battle an eco-terrorist from Emma's past as they race to save Gulf Stream I from subtle and overt attacks that could leave it sunk in bankruptcy. Sf writers Gould, who has diving and oil-industry experience, and Mixon, a former corporate environmental officer, have written a real page-turner sure to delight Tom Clancy readers and ecologists alike. Shell out the green for this environmental action thriller. For all public libraries.?Grant A. Fredericksen, Ill. Prairie Dist. P.L., Metamora

From Booklist

Executive Emma Tooke has moved her Gulfstream Company to the forefront for extracting clean energy and sustainable food from the sea. Then the company is attacked by Wild Justice, an extremist ecoterrorist group whose ranks include an old flame of Emma's. The ensuing plot soundly balances villainy, excitement, scientific virtue, misguided but sincere terrorism, dubious government shenanigans, and a rousing force of nature--to wit, a hurricane. If not great, the book is certainly good, and if it is not a book to keep you up all night, it will certainly hold your interest all the way. Moreover, it admirably avoids excessive didacticism, despite its ecoconsciousness, and reads like a novel rather than the first version of a screenplay, although it probably would translate well to the screen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book -- Read It Soon!, March 18, 1998
By Craig Milo Rogers (Marina del Rey, California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greenwar (Hardcover)
This is a very good book. It's an eco-thriller, based on a deep-sea energy generation platform whose engineering and economics seem far more believable than, say, NASA's chances of occupying a new space station on-time and on-budget; science fiction, but set in the *very* near future. There are good good-guys, and bad bad-guys, and good bad-guys, and bad good-guys: lot's of character development motivated by ethical conflict. There's also a generous dose of Man vs. Nature, handled, I thought, fairly well. Although I don't scuba dive, the underwater sequences seemed very believable.

I've reread this book several times now, and I'm glad I got it in hardcover. If you've gotten this far in this review, I think you'll like this book, too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced thriller, May 7, 2000
By Sharron Albert (Fairbanks, Alaska) - See all my reviews
This is a dandy adventure story. In the center of all the action is Gulf Stream, an offshore structure dedicated to research and "green" industry. Add a group of ecoterrorists determined to destroy it, a dedicated group of employees striving to save it from all enemies including economic difficulties, undercover agents, a hurricane, a bit of romance and a wayward octopus named Louis, and you have the setting for some interesting action. It has a nice mix of male and female characters, with Emma Took (who designed Gulf Stream) taking the lead. I had some difficulty sorting out all the characters at first. And despite the drawings of the Gulf Stream, I didn't always know where the action was taking place -- but that may just be me -- I never could read a blueprint. Overall a satisfying read which kept me from opening other books, and which would probably translate nicely into a film I would like to see.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, okay tale, November 19, 2007
A thriller. This novel moves Abbey's MONKEY WRENCH GANG (Avon Books, 1975) into the future in a gripping tale of high tech good intentions and environmental activism. The good guys aren't always, the bad guys are really pretty decent, and the reader is left wrestling with subtle shades of grey -- while the characters wrestle with hurricanes, bombs, subversion and office politics.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting yet boring
The motivation for the eco-terrorist' attack is absolutely improbable and absurd. The cardboard characters lack any depth. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A good book for an airplane ride or overnight in a hotel
Talk about misrepresentation! Tom Clancy is probably cringing at the use of his name in conjunction with this mildly written, some-what entertaining work. Read more
