    About this ebook

    With a world becoming more overcrowded every day something has to be done — by someone — if we are to survive with any semblance of humanity. This suspenseful mystery tracks the eforts of a well-meaning (but misguided?) professor to do just that. Working secretly with relief agencies in catastrophic areas of Africe and emerging Third World countries Andrew Stanford's plan catches the attention of an attractive journalist as well as the CIA to culminate in an unexpected turn of events in the Californian Sierras.

    Graham Blackburn

    Graham Blackburn was born and educated in London, England, then lived for several years in Cologne and Madrid before moving to New York to continue his studies at the Juilliard School. While pursuing a career as a professional musician that saw him play in numerous bands, including Van Morrison’s, he built several homes in Woodstock, NY, including his own. His first book, Illustrated Housebuilding, was published in 1974.
