Story Behind The Book
With all the political arguments about climate change, the key spark for this book was asking the question, "What if neither side is exactly right?" The original idea came from the sister of one of the authors, and it was intended as more of a post-apocalyptic examination of how people would cope with devastation. It turned into a thriller about trying to stop the conspiracy before it was too late.
Reviews
"New World Orders will make you question everything you have ever been
told by the system. With frightening realism and a unparalleled sense of
urgency, E.G. Talbot spins a story so compelling that it will suck you
in from the very beginning and linger long in your thoughts after you
finish the last page." – <strong>JAMES MELZER, author of Escape and Hull's Landing</strong><br /><br />"A bureaucratic apocalyptic cover-up! Ed’s mixture of real world
politics and the possibility of what may come, keeps you captivated and
wondering… what if?" – <strong>EMERIAN RICH, author of Night's Knights<br /><br /></strong><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Conspiracy meets Dystopian: </strong></span>If you were to cross a rich man who has managed to get his fingers into
nearly all facets of the government, research and more with the coming
end of the world, you'd get New World Orders by Edward Talbot. . .I blazed through this one in just a
few days and lost quite a few hours of sleep staying up late to find out
"what's next". - <strong>CANDY BEAUCHAMP, from Candy's Raves</strong>
