Dream Maker — W.A. Harbinson

From the author of the international best-selling Genesis comes his latest shocking novel - an environmental techno-thriller that no one can afford to ignore.
Everybody thinks they know what is destroying the ozone layer, until NASA scientist Tony Rydell hits upon the truth in a dramatic and near fatal flight over the Antarctic. But nobody will listen to him, in some cases because they don't want to hear what he has to say, in other cases because what he has to say is so traumatic that fortunes and careers will be dashed, and the listeners, with their global corporate investments, cannot afford to heed the warnings.
Only ex-astronaut Clare Holton, a government scientific liaison officer, is willing to give Rydell a chance. But her boyfriend, the ruthless Jack Douglas, has the President's ear and is determined that nothing will undermine the United States becoming the world economic power - even if it costs us the environment in the process.
So while the world's governments sit back and do nothing, Clare and Tony embark on a lonely, dangerous quest: to save the earth from the Dream Maker, a mysterious force now growing stronger in the ever-widening hole in the ozone layer. A force that feeds off people's minds and sends them into an alien dreamworld filled with ghosts and UFOs, monsters and resurrected loved ones - a world where the line between dreaming and reality is fast being eroded.
Like Harbinson's previous best-sellers, Dream Maker is a fascinating combination of horror story and science fiction - a prediction of the world to come if we don't deal with today's terrifying environmental problems.
