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 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. More information is available at jonpepperbooks.com
