The Burning Planet follows three separate, yet connected, story lines as the world faces some of its toughest challenges. A book geared for adult readers, The Burning Planet is a page-turner filled with adventure and suspense. Love will be tested. Values will be questioned. And the characters' plans and goals will shift as quickly as the weather. Ultimately, they will find that their choices will lead them on paths they had not anticipated, but ones that always lead right where they should. For political leaders, for the elderly, and for all
the world's citizens. A political leader, torn between upholding the way of life he's sworn to protect and doing what he knows will lead to lasting change. And a man nearing the fi nal days of his life, surrounded by people who care for him and love him, but are guarding a long-held secret.And when all the stories come together and the pieces fi t into place, the future might look a little brighter, a bit more optimistic, and worldviews might just change.The book also dives into challenging subjects -- politics, the environment, health care, among others -- with surprising insight and intriguing perspectives and ideas. The author, Edmund Arndt is an avid environmentalist and pacifist from British Columbia, Canada. This is his second novel. In 2011 the author successfully published the autobiographical novel Dogs on my Heels, tracing his family roots back to 1774, and following the story of the ancestral German settlers to Russian Poland.
