Summary: A unique plot; more thought-provoking than average sci-fi.
Comment: The Council to Save the Planet is a unique blend of science fiction and pro-earth philosophy. The villans are those of us who are ruining the earth. The heroes are those who want to save it. The irony is that those who want to save it nearly destroy it.

A group of highly intelligent individuals form a council who decide that the best way to save the planet from man's self-destructive course is to disrupt society as we know it by causing nuclear explosions in certain parts of the globe. The result is several interwoven short stories documenting the life of key players in the drama of reshaping society.

Lawrence does justice to flawed human character. As you can expect, there are those who try to reestablish society as it was, as if nothing happened. Then there are those who, with entrepenural spirit, try to capitalize on the devestation and pick up where greedy commercialism left off. In between, there are thought-provoking stories of hate, love, and lust, with a lesson in morality at the end of each one. The reader is left with the question, "Am I a hero, or am I destroying the planet, too?" In the prose, we are reminded that the greatest danger is not pollution, green-house effect, or nuclear disaster. The greatest threat to man is man. And that ain't fiction.
