"An extremely timely novel given the energy crises in the world. An interesting and well-thought out novel set against the backdrop of the world of energy. Gus and Mei Ling work to do the right thing, their lives are threatened---as is the fate of the world. Because it is also a love story, the book will appeal to readers who are looking for a very human story." "A strong and interesting novel about the energy business and how energy is vital to our survival. We can all agree we need energy, but at what cost? The novel asks and answers this provocative question with great aplomb. Because the novel is fact-based, it has a starling authenticity. Like the best novels, it also educates as well as entertains."
