Deepstorm Outtack

This truly scientific action adventure is - space travel to space cities; the environment, climate change, earthquakes and oil pollution; as well as the reality of dinosaur extinctions Synopsis: You are living in the 2060s. Change is inescapable. The people around you are nothing like those you know today. The world population has increased from seven to nine billion and everyone has a highly developed lifestyle, whereas 50 years earlier only one billion could enjoy such a level. In the science novel DeepStorm OutTack, devastating consequences are averted through UNESCO's tough stance on conservation, notably deforestation and oil pollution, and urbanites must now accept beehive dwellings and birth licensing. Nature is not the same either. The ageing Earth pushes up barometric pressures and the expanding Sun forces up temperatures. Now, quickening continental movements shake and sweep cities to ruin. A new age is beginning... Under world governments' initiatives, populations now migrate to man-made Near Earth Territories, amid outbreaks of war. Civilisation is taking its place in the cosmos. This tale is told by young cosmologists and earth scientists enlisted from ordinary Earth backgrounds to become the pioneers of a new way of life. As scientific researchers, they also have a deeper mission... using extraordinary techniques, they must explore the lives of dinosaurs to understand Gaia's devastating transformation - and they make actual scientific discoveries, published exclusively and for the first time within these pages. Reviews: "A keen scientific theorist, the author chose to use the novel form to carry his scientific concepts and unfurl his vision of coming decades and the direction he believes we're heading." SPA UK magazine. "The concepts are well described helped by the author's knowledge and background. Boughton's school of thought is beginning to be recognised and this is a good sign for those interested in the future of mankind." Teresa Suttill (Language Consultant). The Author: Born to English parents in Eritrea, George S Boughton graduated with BSc (Hons) Mech Eng (UK), gained Chartered Engineer status and has lived in all but one continent - including inside war zones - where he developed an impressive track record in the oil industry and later in Information Technology. He liaised closely with geologists and petroleum engineers in designing and building new production facilities for Shell-BP Nigeria, with international consultants to retrofit gas compressors at Shell International's Brent (North Sea) platform, and moved to Creole Production Services International (Texas) to provide oilfield services to Union Oil Co. and Kuwait Oil Co. With change management consultants The Nichols Group (UK) he implemented arguably the world's first government-to-business e-government site, on the construction of express routes for the Chek Lap Kok Airport (Hong Kong). Finally, he furthered e-government strategy with papers he co-authored for the Government while at Azeus Systems Ltd, whom he went on to represent in South Africa. A keen scientific theorist, his research for the revelations presented in DeepStorm OutTack was extensive - and his ultimate conclusions are intriguingly stimulating.
