Signed Paperback Edition – Carbon Run

Description

When saving the planet means sacrificing your family, how far would you run?

In the near future, climate catastrophe has rewritten the rules of civilization. The Bureau of Environmental Security enforces unforgiving Carbon Laws that can strip away your freedom, your livelihood, even your identity. When a wildfire destroys a fragile wildlife refuge, small-town rancher and former sailor Bill Penn is blamed for an environmental crime he didn’t commit.

To protect his daughter Anne, Bill goes on the run, disappearing into a hidden world of outlaw sailing ships, rogue AI, and black-market oil smugglers in the Arctic Free Zone. Stalking him is BES inspector Janine Kilel, a true believer whose allegiance to the Bureau falters as she uncovers corruption at the heart of the system. As Bill fights to clear his name and Anne struggles to save an endangered species from extinction, both father and daughter must confront what justice really means in a world that worships the environment but forgets the people living in it.

Carbon Run is a gripping, character-driven climate-fiction thriller set in the world of the Tales from a Warming Planet series. It’s perfect for readers who love near-future sci-fi, eco-dystopias, and stories where loyalty collides with planetary survival.

📜 Endorsed by the BES Public Engagement Office (cert. #12)

The Port Vila Treaty empowers the Bureau of Environmental Security not only to enforce the Carbon Laws but also to help citizens understand how environmental crime destabilizes communities, ecosystems, and global security.

Carbon Run is presented as a narrative case file illustrating:

• How illegal petroleum trafficking fuels environmental collapse and international conflict
• The human impact of the Carbon Laws on families caught between survival and state power
• The dangers of disidentification technology and its erosion of legal personhood
• How failing ecosystems, from burned wildlife refuges to toxic Arctic settlements, shape social and political instability
• The moral strain placed on BES field officers confronting corruption, trauma, and personal loyalty

Though a work of fiction, Carbon Run reflects patterns familiar to BES analysts, from black-market energy networks to the psychological toll of environmental enforcement in the post-Spike world. It is recommended for readers interested in climate justice, eco-crime, and the human dimensions of environmental security.

This title is approved for public distribution as part of the BES Global Outreach & Education initiative.
