No good deed goes unpunished...
Six years after the near-catastrophic hijacking of LEAP, Uma Jakobsdóttir is determined to find a safer path to environmental salvation. So, with her father’s invention back under wraps, Uma turns her attention to the $85 billion-dollar Green Ray fund with the intention of renewing the planet — minus any teleportation.
But when the capabilities of LEAP are discovered by the U.S. government, it sets its sights on using the device to protect the country against economic collapse. When the White House proposes a new set of rules for LEAP — ones which would only allow the teleportation of goods, not people — Uma's objections are steamrolled by powerful forces. Then the President’s life is endangered, and the rules of the game suddenly shift again — leaving Uma in ethical turmoil as she races to stop the full power of LEAP from being unleashed on an unsuspecting world…

" [...] That's the idea. We are in a race against time to reverse global warming. [...]"
This was my first encounter with OC Heaton's work. I didn't mind not knowing the first part of the series, "The Race is on". I found myself perfectly in the story hidden in the book "Green Ray". I met interesting characters whose behaviour led to great danger. By the way, I have to tell you that Heaton put a lot of effort into their precise descriptions. I can see these characters in my mind's eye. As if I was watching a movie. An interesting feeling. My favourite is of course Uma Jakobsdóttir. There were moments when I was very afraid for her. Thank you OC Heaton for these incredible emotions.
Thanks to the author, I've learned that I love Sci-fi thriller books. OC Heaton has created an exceptional work that everyone should read.
I will happily reach for his earlier novel.
Do you like intrigue and plot twists in books? I love them too. You will get them here too.
"Green Ray" is a very realistic novel for me. Does OC Heaton predict our future?
