--Judith Curry, President of Climate Forecast Applications Network and Professor Emerita, Georgia Institute of Technology "A thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of the contentious issues surrounding climate change, media bias, misguided activism, and political ambition. Drawing from real-world scenarios, Pepper crafts a plot that feels disturbingly plausible and urgently relevant. The suspense is palpable, keeping readers hooked as they root for-or against-these formidable women... A must-read for anyone interested in a gripping, contemporary narrative that reflects today's environmental and political landscape."
--Tom Richard, Editor, Climate Change Dispatch "I often laughed out loud at the venal politicians, the lazy legal system, the hopelessly unthoughtful media and the self-indulgent born-rich. Prose is clear and caustic, the characters are familiar, and the narrative is tight. But Jon's skill with satire and irony is the most notable thing about the book. It is his superpower. So enjoyable."
--Mark Hass, author, The Days Before Tomorrow "How to dissect the most underreported near-miss of a climate-related disaster in America's largest city? Pepper handles it in an easy and quite entertaining way, using a technique that educators, historians, and scientists have relied on for centuries: telling a great story. I hope there is another novel in the writing that is as engaging, entertaining, and enlightening as Hostile Climate."
--Ron Barmby, author of Sunlight on Climate Change: A Heretic's Guide to Global Climate Hysteria "Jon Pepper... continues his excellent Fossil Feuds series with Hostile Climate, the latest installment in the misadventures of the Crowe family, heirs to an oil empire they're rapidly destroying. Pepper brilliantly pokes the hypocrisy of the climate change movement."
--Nolan Finley, Editorial Page Editor, The Detroit News "It's fun and refreshing to read Jon Pepper's latest novel, Hostile Climate, the fifth book in his entertaining and insightful Fossil Feuds series. Pepper takes aim at the topic with a piercing eye and finds plenty of room to ridicule the dominant doomsday narrative that plays out in the media, government, and popular culture."

A CHILLING PROSPECT
A politician's campaign to blame Lindsey Harper Crowe and her company for climate change creates dangerous situations for Lindsey and New York City. As chairperson of the Crowe Power Company, Lindsey Harper Crowe is accustomed to criticism from climate activists, media, and guilt-ridden family members. But she has never seen anything like the bullying and harassment that comes from Felicity Redfeather, New York's ambitious Attorney General. Felicity, running for governor, uses Lindsey as campaign fodder to excite her voters. She seeks to take Lindsey to court and seize her assets to put power into the hands of the people clamoring outside the courthouse for "environmental justice." The battle between Lindsey and Felicity is fraught with serious consequences for Lindsey's company, Felicity's future, and the people of the city. Inspired by real events, Hostile Climate shows in a way that is both entertaining and frightening what can happen when climate change ideology runs headlong into the cold reality of providing heat, light, and power to millions of people, especially in extreme weather. Hostile Climate is the fifth novel in Jon Pepper's "Fossil Feuds" series. REVIEWS "Clever and wickedly entertaining, Hostile Climate provides a well informed and insightful message about how the rush to shut off the use of fossil fuels without adequate replacements is the real 'climate crisis.'"--Judith Curry, President of Climate Forecast Applications Network and Professor Emerita, Georgia Institute of Technology "A thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of the contentious issues surrounding climate change, media bias, misguided activism, and political ambition.
