Chilling Effect A Global Climate Thriller

Chilling Effect, R.J. Pineiro's newest thriller, explores a world in the not too distant future where terrorism is taken to a new level, one with world-ending consequences. William Kiersted is hell-bent on avenging his father's death. He'll go to extremes of terrorism never before seen in humanity's history, all to strike a blow to those whose hubris led to his father's demise. He will take full advantage of the greed and narcissism ever-present in the world, as well as the ongoing consequences of global warming, which in this future world are rapidly advancing towards catastrophe, and use it to plot a scenario so grim, yet so compellingly real it could have been ripped from today's news headlines. Enter Doctors Natasha Shakhiva and Konrad Malone, experts in the study of the Earth's permafrost, which gives clues to the planet's past but also to the future of our world. They are among the very few scientists in the world who understand the global implications of Kiersted's nefarious plan to cripple humanity, if not outright destroy it. What follows is a fast-paced, heart-rending thrill ride whose chilling effect will leave you fearful for the future we're leaving our children. Climate change is real, and its effects are all around us. The decisions we make today will determine if Kiersted's vision of the future comes to pass.
