Thanks to author James Corkill for introducing his Alex Cave series to us. He states:
I would like to tell you a little bit about my eco-fiction stories. In each book, Alex must find an unconventional means to save the planet from different environmental disasters.
Alex Cave is a geophysics instructor from Montana, and while on vacation, sailing the waters of the Puget Sound, a brilliant flash of light catches his attention. When he changed course to investigate, he had no idea this would be the start of an epic adventure, where he would be the only person capable of saving humanity from environmental catastrophes.
In book 1, Dead Energy, an environmental extremist creates a means of transforming oil into a new, clean, and extremely powerful energy source, but he doesn’t consider the consequences of depleting the world’s supply of raw crude oil in a matter of weeks.
In book 2, Cold Energy, an alien device begins freezing and expanding the Polar Ice Sheet at an alarming rate. The sudden freezing temperature creates a massive Polar vortex, altering weather patterns on a global scale and causing worldwide destruction.
In book 3, Red Energy, the Yellowstone super volcano becomes active, filling the atmosphere with toxic gases and ash.
In book 4, Gravity, which will be released in October, the moon begins to change its orbit, creating devastating tidal effects.

Society starts to crumble, pitting human against human! Great start to the series! Alex Cave is a science fiction Indiana Jones!
When his wife was murdered during a mission, Alex Cave quit the CIA for a less stressful life as a geology instructor. ‘Let someone else save the world from the bad people.’ At least, that was his plan.
While on vacation sailing the waters of the Puget Sound, he sees a brilliant flash of light from an oil tanker. He changes course to help and discovers there was no explosion and no one onboard. The next morning the crew is found frozen on a mountain, hundreds of miles inland. Even more unsettling, the tanker left Alaska with a full load of heavy crude oil, but the empty storage tanks are as clean as the day they were built.
When oil supplies along the west coast begin to disappear, people in the inner cities begin to panic when they can’t even get basic necessities because of the lack of fuel. He realizes he must shake off his depression, find whoever is responsible, and use any means necessary to stop them.
The investigation leads him to the remnants of a spacecraft at Groom Lake, and the only clue is a dollar size crystal, which appears to be alive.
Can Alex get his act together and find a solution for this dire situation?

Sudden freezing temperatures cause weather patterns to change for the worse and threaten a catastrophe that will affect the entire world. As various government agencies struggle to find a solution, they all converge on a single man: Alex Cave, a professor of geophysics.
Alex leads a small band of volunteers in a desperate attempt to remedy the situation before civilization faces ecological disaster, but members of the group have their own agenda, seeking wealth and fame through murder and seduction.
Captain John Dieter’s greed blinds him to the suffering caused by the disastrous weather conditions, and he enlists the help of modern day pirates to capture a high-tech research vessel named the Mystic, the only ship capable of saving humanity from extinction. He takes the Mystic to an unknown island in the Bering Sea in search of hidden treasure, but what he discovers is an alien artifact, which is freezing the oceans at an incredible rate and will engulf the planet in a matter of weeks. How can Alex and the crew of the Mystic stop the sudden freezing before the world enters a new Ice age?
