Description

Two centuries after the Boston Tea Party, harbour dumping is still a favourite local sport, only this time it’s major corporations piping toxic wastes into the water. Environmentalist and professional pain in the ass Sangaman Taylor is Boston’s modern -day Paul Revere, spreading the word from a 40-horsepower Zodiac raft. Embarrassing powerful corporations in highly telegenic ways is the perfect method of making enemies, and Taylor has a collection that would do any rabble-rouser proud.After his latest exploit, he’s wanted by the FBI, possibly by the Mafia, and definitely by a group of Satanist angel-dust heads who think he’s looking for a PCP factory, not PCB contamination. Pretty soon dodging bullets is the least of Taylor’s problems – because somewhere out there are an unhinged genetic engineer and a lab-concocted bacterium that could destroy all ocean life and that’s just for appetizers.Frightening, funny, fast and furious, Zodiac is thrilling speculative fiction torn straight from today’s headlines.

About The Author

Neal Stephenson is the author of The Baroque Trilogy (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System Of The World). His other books include Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash, The Diamond Age, and Zodiac, as well as Cobweb and Interface, written in collaboration with Frederick George. Winner of the 2003 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Quicksilver, Stephenson was short listed for the same award in 2005 for The System Of The World. He lives in Seattle.

Zodiac is a great read… A funny, non-stop adventure… A fun and fast-paced eco-thriller, with enough themes and "action" to keep the pages turning until they run out.
