The Nice Pill - E-book - ePub

A hopeful but cynical tale about a unique mission to change human nature as a way to avert climate chaos and ecological disaster. Sergeant Jim Kettle suffered a landmine explosion beneath his patrol vehicle during active service. A brain scan during his recuperation in hospital revealed some oddities, but nothing to explain his sudden obsession with the cruelty we inflict on each other, and the natural world.
Preventing a stabbing in his workplace led Jim to make an impassioned outburst on a popular TV show which was later heard by the Governor of a beautiful Latin American State. Her success in calming a vicious civil war in a neighboring country gave her the confidence to fulfill a dream she had nurtured from childhood,. and she invited Jim onto a small team with a mission to save the world from the ravages of humankind.
Against a background of catastrophic weather events, the mission is beset with political duplicity; big business hostility; religious objection, and murder. But trust in reason, and a surprising revelation could lead to success and a peaceful world.
