A Final Warning: An Environmental Thriller That Will Leave You Hanging Til the Last Page...

Final Warning begins with a secret transmission to the president describing an imminent environmental threat to Europe from a top secret agency. The president reads it, puts it down, mumbles a few words under his breath and heads out to his helicopter for the trip to Camp David.

This urgent report sets the stage for a series of stories that we later learn are interconnected threads of a complex environmental disaster in the making. The profiteers ignore or do not want to acknowledge the GAIA-like effects they have set in motion that are gathering force to push the world to the brink of collapse. Fighting what seems inevitable is a little known private agency whose protagonists are trying to shed light and pursue these purveyors of destruction before it is too late. Time is running out and the question is whether the profiteers can be stopped and the destruction they have set in motion reversed. It is an emotional tour de force so much more compelling because it deals with the reality that few want to face!...

A Question and Answer Session Explaining the Rationale for Final Warning

Interviewer: What compelled you to write Final Warning?

Mr. Aaron: I was a spokesman for business and industry for many years representing the plastics, ingredients, unitizing and packaging industries.Gradually, I began to understand what was taking place and saw the violations of environmental law taking place and I vowed that one day I would expose what industry is doing to harm and endanger the lives of our children and what it inveighs for the future.I have children and grand-children; in all honesty, I could not leave them with a world that I knew was headed in the wrong direction without at least doing what I could to change it…Inasmuch as I have been a writer for most of my career, I decided to write about it putting what I knew into novel form…

Interviewer: How did you attempt to explain the challenge.

Mr. Aaron: I could never do this as non-fiction. I decided that I would take a number of different threads—develop them as best I could—and then weave them together for a suspenseful climax.Interviewer: Are these stories based on fact?I had to make this a fictional narrative but many of the included stories are based on what I know or has already been brought to light in scientific journals and other investigations.

Interviewer: What is your intent in writing thisbook?

Mr. Aaron: To change the status quo which nobody, including this administration, wants to do. And to educate people who may not have an interest in reading the historical texts but can become involved in a narrative story that encapsulates many of the environmental issues facing mankind today.

Interviewer: What is the conflict.

Mr. Aaron: It is man vs. nature and man vs. man.

Interviewer: Could you explain?

Mr. Aaron: In the book, the scientific effort to educate voters is sabotaged every step of the way. The government doesn’t want us to know that coal energy kills 20,000 people a year—and still pumps effluents into the environment even using the latest technology. They don’t want mankind to understand that there are much more efficient alternatives that don’t contribute to global warming and that is where this country should be putting its efforts.

Interviewer: What is the current challenge as you see it?

Mr. Aaron: Keeping our country from slipping beneath the waves. I am not being facetious here; I was just to a meeting in one state given by the Department of Oceanography and I was shown computer projections that show that unless we change what we are doing, which is nothing, our entire state will disappear in the next fifty to one hundred years. If that isn’t a call to action, I don’t know what is.

Interviewer: Are you describing a local challenge to the environment?

Mr. Aaron: No, what we talk about are the road traps set up to defuse the Kyoto Accords so that nobody takes their efforts seriously. What we are talking about is the resistance faced by global scientists to pursue global warming criteria. In this country, these efforts were ridiculed as being incomplete science; yet, as every day passes, we find more and more proof to vindicate our positions…

Interviewer: How do these environmental factors affect us?

Mr. Aaron: Well, if you’ve paid attention you’ve noticed that we’ve experienced extreme deviations in weather conditions over the past several years ranging from the most intense hurricanes to Tsunamis that have taken hundreds of thousands of lives.Science now is predisposed to believe that many of these events are interrelated and are casual influenced by other events and conditions.

Interviewer: What are the long term implications?

Mr. Aaron: What we are experiencing now is an increase in air and water temperatures which has caused the melting of the Greenland Cap. Such ice melts would not only raise water levels will not only raise water levels, they are also expected to influence the “conveyor belt” or underseas river that circles the world and operates to keep temperatures moderate.Should the scientists’ theorizing be correct and the global warming slow down the conveyor belt or stop it altogether, we may experience the other extreme, a mini Ice Age.

Interviewer: Isn’t that a little extreme.

Mr. Aaron: Yes, but it’s happened before—some 10,000 years ago. Should it happen, we would be hard pressed to survive and, likely, mankind would face mass extinctions.
