Climate Incorporated [EPUB ebook] 

When meteorologist Alvin Brook invents a means of controlling the weather, he imagines it will lead to his becoming a world benefactor, with riches for him and his family. Instead, Brook and his wife are murdered, and his invention stolen and misused by industrialist Marcus Denham. Denham creates the mighty empire of Climate Incorporated, controlling the world’s weather and holding nations to ransom…but he does not anticipate that outraged Nature — and Brook’s son — will take their revenge.
