In Storms of My Grandchildren, James Hansen - the nation's leading scientist on climate issues - speaks out for the first time with the full truth about global warming: the planet is hurtling even more rapidly than previously acknowledged to a climatic point of no return.

From the New York Times bestselling author of First Man comes a sweeping saga involving two extraordinary—and extraordinarily different—adventurers who have only one thing in common: the ambition to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat . . . alone.

Men kan han bevise det i retten, inden morderen slår til igen? Og er det overhoveder Shafer, der står bag mordene, eller har Cross’ intuition for en gangs skyld spillet ham et puds?
