Description

Firewater is a brutally funny environmental suspense novel featuring Chief Shelldrake, favourite son for the U.S. presidency and last hope for the world's survival. A perfect anti-hero for the post-apocalypse, Shelldrake is equal parts Ralph Nader (in his zealous environmental activism), Sitting Bull (in his proud tribal loyalties), Huey Long (in his fiery demagogic populism), and William Jefferson Clinton (in his unquenchable appetite for voluptuous young women).

Reviews

"Eccentric, hilarious... This may not be the first environmental novel, but it's the first one that produces belly laughs." - Mary Bringle, author of Murder Most Gentrified

Author Bio

Edward Cohen (1937-1999) and his wife Fritzi were environmental activists who divided their time between their homes and the small, unique hotels they owned and operated in Washington, D.C. and Nahcotta, Washington. The hotels represented Cohen's commitment to social change and political activism, and his delight in the wonders of the natural world. This was his only novel.
