Wonderful, action filled story. It was a genuine surprise to have German, Norwegian, and Israeli protagonists pitted against American antagonists. It helped me to understand how non-Americans view US climate change policy. The copy I read had jarring grammar errors. I suspect that the book was written in German and translated to English
