A friend of the earth

title:

A friend of the earth

summary:

In the year 2025, Tyrone O'Shaughnessy Tierwater is eking out a bleak living in Southern California, managing a pop star's private menagerie of exotic animals. Meanwhile, global warming is a reality. The biosphere has collapsed in a grim but pointed way, and most of the major mammalian species - not to mention fish, birds and frogs - are extinct. At one time, Ty was a passionate environmentalist, so committed to saving the earth that he became an eco-terrorist and, ultimately, a convicted felon. As a member of the radical environmental group Earth Forever!, he unwittingly endangered both his wife, Andrea, and his daughter, Sierra. Now, when he's just trying to survive in a world torn by obdurate storms and winnowing drought, Andrea comes back into his life.
