Saving the World
Synopsis
Saving the World is a gripping science-fiction thriller about love, science, and humanity’s desperate struggle for survival. An American fighter pilot and a Chinese scientist investigating the mysterious deaths of pandas in China’s Sichuan Province meet by chance - a meeting that becomes a turning point not only in their lives, but in the fate of the entire planet.
Earth’s protective ozone layer (O₃) is breaking apart. Volcanoes erupt, glaciers melt, solar radiation pierces the atmosphere, and oxygen escapes into space. Humanity is slowly losing its breath.
The Americans plan to launch a hydrogen bomb into space to seal the hole in the ozone layer . but the explosion would also release deadly radioactive energy a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima. Johnson and Wong Li embark on a desperate mission to save the world , and to save the pandas, the gentle creatures dying in the mountains from lack of oxygen.
This is the first novel by K.G. ISAAC, written in 1971. ISAAC is regarded as one of the most visionary voices in modern science-fiction literature. Following the book’s publication — a groundbreaking environmental prophecy ahead of its time , he became known as “The Prophet of the Ozone Hole,” a writer who foresaw one of humanity’s greatest ecological threats.
