The Fossilarchy: It's a WAR for the WORLD

Tom Clark

"As a huge fan of modern climate fiction, it was exciting to see the action-thriller genre taking up the mantle in this excellent work by author Tom Clark." - KC Finn, Author, for Readers' Favorite

As the world burns and floods, humanity stares into the abyss of climate apocalypse... but hey, a planet is a small sacrifice for a few more years of profits and executive bonuses.


Meet the Fossilarchy, the fossil fuel industry and its political cronies, cause of the climate crisis, doyen of denial.

All-powerful, it has captured government and nations. Ever-growing, it won't stop until it has consumed the Earth.


In this epic tale of revenge, power, greed and travel, some start to think the unthinkable: Only sabotage will save the world.

But it will be dangerous. How can it be done without detection and retribution?


Don't miss this fast-paced, action-packed thriller set against a global backdrop and the horror-comedy show of Australian climate politics.

"Engrossing.... the tension ebbs and flows throughout... descriptions of the Australian landscape and surrounding waters are picture-perfect....... a gripping and timely environmental tale with a combustible mix of deadly elements

Praise for this book

"As a huge fan of the upswell in modern climate fiction, it was exciting to see the action-thriller genre taking up the mantle in this excellent work by author Tom Clark. One of the features that I especially enjoyed was the sense of urgency in the plot and surrounding context, and the build-up of frustration as characters are both wronged by the sinister fossil fuel industry and ignored despite their very legitimate concerns. Daring to walk an extreme line that could become a frightening reality if we don't change our ways soon, the action scenes were cinematically penned against the stark backdrop of the coal industry. The political elements were intelligently considered, and then a selection of well-developed, tough, and determined characters carry us confidently through the narrative. Overall, I would highly recommend The Fossilarchy for thriller fans seeking something original and bang up to date to get their teeth into."
