The Star Phoenix: An Enthralling Adventure in the Decimated World of the Near Future

Brown doesn't create a fantasyland, rather he looked at data and trends and extrapolated forward to a world wrecked by weather calamity. In this vividly described landscape, he lays out a remarkable and suspensful adventure of human tragedy and triumph. Reading the manuscript of The Star Phoenix was the most enjoyable and worthwhile thing I have done lately. - David Ponton, mechanical engineer, writer and long-time naturalist and environmental activist. "So what if the world warms up? How can that affect me?" In The Star Phoenix, Brown tells how it can, and most likely will, affect us all. He gives us a glimpse of what the future could be like and how, in spite of what can only be described as overwhelming disaster, the human spirit can still create a future of hope and promise. Read this book and look beyond today's headlines to a "future history" you're sure to find sobering yet encouraging, frightening yet fascinating. It's an exciting adventure that contains many important lessons. - Val Germann, college astronomy lecturer and essayist.
