Human society and Earth's capacity for supporting it have reached a boiling point, forcing desperate world leaders to evacuate people to another planet. The fates of a zealous ecologist, an oppressed 18-year-old and a weary astronomer are linked by this last-ditch plan to save humanity from itself.

Welcome to the official website for Killing Juggernaut!

Ecologist Edward O. Wilson famously said that he didn’t want to be pessimistic about the future of the world, but he couldn’t ignore scientific evidence that predicts that up to half of life on Earth will go extinct by the end of the century based on current rates of extinction. Killing Juggernaut, a new science fiction/literary novel, uses current science and societal trends to predict a devastating future, culminating in a last-ditch attempt to evacuate the human species from Earth and colonize a distant extrasolar planet.

This novel follows three main characters through time and discovers the ways in which their lives are intertwined. The ecologist Zara Dimitrov is jaded by the loss of her father as she battles environmental degradation through research and aggressive lobbying. Mashechka McGuigan lives in a suppressed society whose sole purpose is to fulfill the Mission for Humanity in which humans endeavor to abandon ecologically-devastated Earth. Astronomer Patrick Nelson works to help as much of humanity as possible survive the mass extinction event, and ultimately travels to the Sahara Desert to write this book as a time capsule.
