Book description
Stark is a secret consortium with more money than God, and the social
conscience of a dog on a croquet lawn. What's more, it knows the Earth
is dying.
Deep in Western Australia where the Aboriginals used to milk the
trees, a planet-sized plot is taking shape. Some green freaks pick up
the scent: a pommie poseur; a brain-fried Vietnam vet; Aboriginals who
have lost their land...not much against a conspiracy that controls
society. But EcoAction isn't in society: it just lives in the same
place, along with the cockroaches.
If you're facing the richest and most disgusting scheme in history,
you have to do more than stick up two fingers and say 'peace'.
