Book Review: Arctic Rising by Tobias S. Buckell
April 23rd, 2012 | by Vivian Nelson Melle
What if all our green living fails? What if our eco-minded work was not enough and we just couldn't get enough people on board to reverse the damaging effects of climate change? Tobias S. Buckell has come up with a possible scenario in his eco-thriller and we can only hope it doesn't come to the grim reality he sets up in this fictional tale.
