Synopsis

When environmental activist Justine Henning witnesses a brutal attack on protesters at a climate demonstration, she becomes entangled in a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of corporate and political power. As a member of a radical environmental group committed to direct action against climate destruction, Justine has always believed in the power of peaceful protest. But when her closest allies begin disappearing and dying under suspicious circumstances, she realizes that powerful forces will stop at nothing to silence the climate movement. Any Human Power follows Justine as she goes underground, using her skills as a former military intelligence officer to uncover a network of corruption involving oil companies, government officials, and private security firms. Racing against time to expose the truth before she becomes the next target, Justine must navigate a world where corporate interests have weaponized information and violence to protect their profits. Scott weaves together themes of environmental activism, corporate accountability, and personal courage in a fast-paced thriller that feels frighteningly relevant to our current climate crisis. The novel explores what ordinary people are willing to sacrifice for the planet's future and questions whether traditional activism is enough when facing such overwhelming opposition.
