Dislocation : A savage climate, millions of refugees. Embrace them...or shoot them? A story of Australia's future in a post-climate change world Paperback / softback
by Tim Butler
Paperback / softback
Description
India is in chaos. Giant storms destroy their coastal cities, and searing droughts cripple their agriculture.
The country is degenerating into civil war along ethnic lines.
Millions want out. People smugglers repurpose massive junked cargo ships as refugee vessels, and hundreds of thousands begin to wash up on Australia's shores.
Australia and India quickly descend into war; Australia has to protect its borders and identity, India to protect its citizens who are fleeing a disintegrating nation.
Jacqueline Laffite, Prime Minister of Australia has to solve the crisis, but the Indian's are escorting the freighters with warships; it seems that nothing will stop the flow.
How can she protect her country without sacrificing her humanity?
Glen Robertson is a vaunted naval commander. On the front line, he becomes a pawn in Laffite's war and sacrifices everything for his country.
But will it be enough? Dislocation is a thought-provoking novel that resonates with excitement.
It explores the distinct possibility that Australia will soon be at war with its neighbours in a post-climate-change world, and the incredibly difficult moral choices our leaders will have to make as a result.
