Van Fleisher’s FINAL Trilogy recounts that influence in three unique sci-fi thrillers: FINAL NOTICE ... FINAL ACT ... and FINAL CHANCE. Set in the not-so-distant future, the novels are laced with political satire, dark humor, and a dash of romance. And despite their sci-fi premise, they provide an unmistakably realistic reflection of modern society.

The not-so-distant future: (2068) The climate-change tipping point has been breached, faster than expected. Seas are rising and are more acidic, greatly affecting the health of our oceans and dramatically reducing our supply of seafood. Temperatures are rising along with humidity, creating a deadly combination of environmental conditions resulting in high numbers of deaths. Outbreaks of diseases as a result of glacier melt anthrax, mosquitos, and ticks. Agriculture and our entire food chains are breaking down as rising CO2 in the atmosphere is affecting plant nutrition and animal stocks.

FINAL ACT is a fast-paced sequel to Final Notice and has been described as simultaneously realistic and surrealistic ... and totally engrossing. It is set in today’s chaotic political climate and gun-crazy culture; and features the “only slightly” sci-fi watch – the VT2 – that monitors blood chemistry so accurately that it can predict the wearer’s death.
