Buzz - Book Review The Obvious Answer: Solving the World's Energy crisis "The Obvious Answer" is a new book by David Rosenberg. This is for those of you who love a thriller. The topic is very current, concerning what lengths the oil industry will go to protect their century and half monopoly on the world's most needed energy source as innovation theatens their mountain top. The spark of invention drops a match into a barrel of oil and sets the book ablaze when Weare Enterprises discovers a process to not only preclude the need for oil from Middle Eastern countries, but provides electricity and cleans the air at the same time. You won't be skeptical after you read the intriguing technology involved. It could be the answer. The thrills are provided by some nasty characters that don't take prisoners. They feed on anyone in the way of big business and cause "accidents" to any thing that demotes their cause to the shock of their enemies. Money can be made in confused derivitive trading when you know the outcome before it happens. You could have better friends. The problem is they are all so upstanding in the public eye. Nadir Consulting is a Janus organization: two faced and treacherous. These guys are the gunslingers wearing black hats. This company pays dividends in blood. As you read, you want these guys to get what's coming to them. David provides unique solutions to your wishes. Great imagination. Let's see this in the movie theaters. Money breeds corruption and this novel has it all. Our protagonists, Jonathan Weare and his girl friend and chief scientist, Marci Ingram, dodge the political rivals and roadblocks as his powerful mother, Suzanne Weare, owner of Weare Enterprises, uses her instincts to upset the pandits. David does a brilliant job of keeping the action going to the end, where the twists and turns leave you spinning. "I didn't expect that," I said to myself during the last few chapters. The book will be published by Xlibris and will be available on Amazon. It can be obtained in hardcover or softcover. It's 314 pages of adventure that I believe you will find excellent reading while under an umbrella this summer. Go to David's website for details and availability.
