This book truly is difficult to put down, and as the plot thickens, it gets even harder to take a break. Part of the reason, I could say, is...

The Invisible Committee So passes another Earth Day, another round of lip service paid to Mother Nature, respect paid to Gaia by the very companies and industries that churn out the toxic sludge that destroy it, and a round of boastful politicians claiming...
