Scientist in the Dark

A fugitive adventure story, created to encourage our fight against climate change and government employees who promote ecocide. The US President is a government employee. Scientist, applied mathematician, admirer of the work of Rachel Louise Carson, and her prescient book, Silent Spring, and defender of the health of the Biosphere, Jeb Newton, known to his friends as Fig, is caught up in a government-sponsored conspiracy to silence environmentalists. This covert activity was created at the behest of the new resident of the White House, the narcissistic charlatan, President John D. Miller. Fig's life is threatened, so he has to go underground to find and expose a vicious and illegal attack on all animal and plant life on this lovely planet. Fig wouldn't have had a chance, if he hadn't encountered Jamie, a beautiful arts major, who has a peculiar hobby for an artist. Sometimes you have to fight back against your own government, to keep them honest, but they are always watching.
