Publisher's Synopsis
What happens when you fail to act on your belief about climate change and do nothing?
This docudrama is based on actual events, real people and fictionalised into an action-driven psychological and political thriller.
Set in the near future with flashbacks to the past, shadowy powerbrokers behind climate-change denial face a world no longer delivering the wealth, privilege and security they've taken for granted?
Aided by a World Bank governor gone rogue, rising star government editor Cassandra Adams heads a small band of activists ready to break through the enclaves protecting seven of the world's wealthiest fossil-fuel tycoons and unravel the secrets behind the greatest challenge the planet's human population has ever faced.
Murdered protestors, a shock jock warped by his latent homosexuality, an enraged young scientist, and a mystical Aboriginal couple propel the story from New York to Washington, to Sydney and then the remote West Australian coast.
The World Playoff is the highest stakes game of all as one side cheats, lies and manipulates their way toward winning no matter what. And they have a plan for the rest of us - a shocking new plan that hides in plain sight.
Can the activists muster public support and overcome their own fears in time to bring back truth and hope to a disintegrating world?
Whose side are you on? The answer may not be so easy.
