Verdant Agenda — Steven Lyle Jordan

The next era of human history will be triggered by environmental disaster.

The long-overdue eruption of Yellowstone's buried supervolcano has finally happened, spewing enough ash into the atmosphere to herald a global extinction event. Earth's desperate residents, led by the President of the United States, immediately try to seek refuge in the four satellite-cities in Earth orbit -- Verdant, Tranquil, Fertile and Qing -- but the satellites are already at capacity, and further overloading will ruin their survivability as well.


As the satellites find themselves fighting against a forced occupation by populations they cannot hold, a secret group on the satellite Verdant has an agenda of its own, one that will literally remove the satellite from the threat of attack... and if they succeed, they will trigger the next age of human history.

Verdant Agenda presents a powerful and realistic version of Mankind's future and potential.

Steven Lyle Jordan has written a page-turning adventure that, unfortunately, doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility... It was a difficult book to put down... It's the kind of science fiction that could truly become our reality down the road. -Amazon reviews
