Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"A speculative fiction masterwork" -BlueInk Review, starred reviewThe Planetary Tribunal is a novel of ideas-fierce in argument, unsparing in judgment, and sweeping in scope. It stands in the tradition of The Brothers Karamazov's moral confrontation, Atlas Shrugged's civilizational reach, The Deluge's ecological reckoning.In a multiverse where a few ageless individuals serve as clandestine auditors for myriad worlds, Hagar is the auditor overseeing Earth. She uncovers doctored reports, suppressed alarms, and a civilization deep into overshoot. Before she can act, she is silenced.Decades later, a sleeper agent succeeds in locating and releasing Hagar. Their desperate attempt to convene a planetary hearing takes them on a tumultuous journey-from being thrown into the hold of a slave ship in the past to being thwarted by Earth's emergent entity.The Planetary Tribunal offers a scathing autopsy of Earth's economic engine, industrial agriculture, religious dogmas, mass panics-and the underlying systems that sustain them. Woven throughout are glimpses of parallel-universe societies that chose otherwise. The fate of Earth's inhabitants hangs in the balance as the consequences of humanity's actions are finally brought before the bench.
