A planet for the president

Alistair Beaton

This is a story written over a decade ago.
Before Fake News, or Alternative Facts, or even social media.
It told the story of a not-too-distant future, which really was not too distant.

The President of the United States is facing a global catastrophe.
The environment is in meltdown. People are dying. Americans are dying.
Even he can’t ignore it.
There’s hardly a corner of the world that isn’t in crisis.
And that’s when he’s persuaded of a truth his advisers hold to be self-evident:
That it’s time to think the unthinkable.
The problem isn’t power, or politics, or the planet, or the President.
It’s the People.

Hilarious and horrifying – this enormously entertaining satire has never been more razor-sharp, revelatory or relevant. What readers are saying about this hilarious, critically acclaimed novel:

‘For anyone who likes laughs and thrills in one package and who’s been following recent developments in the White House this is an absolute must.’ Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars

‘This political and satirical novel manages to be both thrilling and funny. And, given its prescience, scary too. The characters, the setting and the plot are fantastic and believable. A real page turner.’ Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars

‘A frighteningly plausible thriller, which imagines what might happen if the White House were finally to believe that something had to be done about global warming … clever, funny and a really good read.’ Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars

‘This thriller is packed with good jokes and tells a tale that is utterly credible. Parts were jaw-droppingly frightening and I wished I could have put it down but thesharp humour and pacey plot made me keep reading. It’s a laugh and a chiller in one book.’ Amazon Reviewer,5 stars
