PYTHONS: MASSACRE IN THE EVERGLADES

PYTHONS: MASSACRE IN THE EVERGLADES

February 2029. The incident caught the new governor like a spinning back-fist to the face. Who knew the truth? How deep was the rot? Whom could he trust? Scrabbling for footing, Governor Prescott settled on an unlikely pair. An attractive computer science research professor, Slate, had a devastating connection to the massacre. A swamp cowboy, Jake, hunted for survivors of the attacks. Like swamp gas, the ugly truth lurking beneath decades of political duplicity bubbled to the surface. Florida's tourist economy in free-fall, and the Everglades a biological desert, Prescott has one option: a classified emergent AI technology. It attracts spies, lies, and a high-stakes romance. As power, passion, and predators collide, the race is on to reverse decades of deception. Prescott navigates a complex political landscape and widespread calls for accountability and revenge. The math is simple. The outcome is far from certain. How many must die to save the Everglades? Pythons breed in May.
