Review

"Simon Rosser's scientific and psychological thriller "Tipping Point" is one of the best I have read in the past decade. He has a gift for fluent narrative, realistic characterisation and for creating settings that come vividly to life for the reader. He blends tension and suspense very successfully against the contemporary background of global warming and its sinister implications.
--Author, TV presenter and Priest Lionel Fanthorpe -

Product Description

TWO DEAD CLIMATOLOGISTS...AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY...A LOOMING ECOLOGICAL DISASTER...With news just out that Arctic sea ice appears to have broken the 2007 record daily extent and is now the lowest in the satellite era according to NSIDC, Kindle thriller TIPPING POINT couldn't be timelier...


When eminent climatologist Dr Dale Stanton, studying the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation is found murdered, his last will leads environmental lawyer Robert Spire on a roller-coaster adventure from Wales, London, San Francisco and Paris to the freezing wilderness of the Arctic on a quest to prevent environmental disaster.


Ebook download TIPPING POINT is an ecological action-thriller with a perfect blend of action, adventure and thrills with an environmental theme.



TWO DEAD CLIMATOLOGISTS

When eminent climatologist Dr Dale Stanton - in the process of studying the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation - is found dead in his London apartment, environmental lawyer Robert Spire is given the task to administer a large legacy left to global warming organisations. The job should have been straightforward, until a second climatologist, Dr Jack Bannister drops dead on the other side of the Atlantic.

AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY

Spire's client - suspicious of her son's death - asks him to travel to San Francisco to investigate Dr Jack Bannister's death. Whilst there, he meets French Climatologist Professor Francois Trimaud who is working on a geoengineering project to seed the Arctic Ocean with an experimental substance - the aim, to prevent, or at least slow the Arctic's melting ice. Spire soon discovers that someone has other plans for the region and wants the climatologists dead at all costs.

A LOOMING ECOLOGICAL DISASTER

As evidence of increased glacial melt in Greenland and reduction in the Arctic ice mounts, Spire becomes determined to join Trimaud on the research vessel, Mercure Blanc on a joint US/French expedition to the Arctic. He soon finds however, that the lives of all on board are in peril as he discovers a plan that threatens to push the Arctic to its tipping point and the Earth to disaster...

As I'm an Environmental Studies student I was really intrigued to find out more about this ecological thriller. I was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed this pacey action thriller with all the drama of a Cussler adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling story about a very current issue 19 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Really enjoyed this fast paced book and the characters were very believable. The content was very interesting and I did wonder if it was all fantasy or whether there was any fact to it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read 17 Mar 2013
By Peter
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Once I started reading this, I could not put it down. Having had a holiday in the area of south west Wales it brought that part of the adventure to life, and it was easy to imagine the car chase through the narrow lanes.
I have already downloaded Impact Point and look forward to adventure

5.0 out of 5 stars Action packed!!! 14 May 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I must say I'm impressed with this author, he manages to keep you turning pages and has the ability to make you think about what you're reading about the environment and the impact that Global Warming appears to be having. A difficult book to put down once its picked up! Cant wait to read more from this guy!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of ideas 17 April 2013
By Kdog
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
There were a lot of idea's in the plot but the development of each one was poor. You were left feeling that you had missed out on something. Everything was just too easy for the hero. There was no sense of peril no suspense. The story flow was good but I just wasn't gripped. I almost gave up towards the end. Reduce the content. elaborate on the suspense. More descriptive action sequences and this will be a great read.
