After global bee and butterfly populations crash, famines and pandemics divide the world into three rival political and military blocs. Each seek to create deadly viral missiles. Confronted by the malevolent Bounty Inc., a Nobel Prize scientist and a beautiful Brazilian biologist join a radical green underground headed by the mysterious “Jaeger” to prevent this, and devise an antidote which can save both humanity and countless besieged species. The action moves from California to the Canadian Arctic, before a final clash in exotic Brazil.
Note that though this novel first appeared in 2013, it seems that a new edition is being launched. According to HuffStrategy:
Canada’s solar-powered publisher, Simpatico Song & Script, is pleased to announce the launch of a new eco-thriller novel, “The Kepler Code”, and co-sponsorship of a national “Protect the Pollinators” campaign with Sierra Club of Canada Foundation. The tour begins in Victoria in mid-March, and concludes in Halifax in mid-April. (Event locations and dates can be found at: www.sierraclub.ca) The campaign will feature presentations by John Bennett of Sierra Club, author Paul McKay, plus scientists and regional anti-pesticide activists. The campaign theme song/youtube video, “Bless the Bees & Butterflies”, features a rural children’s choir and gorgeous photos of diverse pollinators.
