Brent Brodie: Hard Beginnings

In the middle of the North Pacific Gyre, the accelerated impacts of Global Climate Change have expanded the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to epic proportions.

Brent Brodie was an oil and gas engineer until he suffered catastrophic mental and physical injuries during an oil rig explosion. After years of recovery, he focuses his unique skills to lead the development of a floating, plastic recycling plant that grows into a star-shaped, two-mile-wide, rotating island. Utilizing the gyre’s powerful ocean currents, Plasticity Island generates massive amounts of hydroelectricity, which powers the Recycling, Fabrication, and Desalination Plants.
In the very near future, as most of the world runs out of fresh drinking water, Plasticity Island’s Water Tanker Drones come under attack from Chinese Pirates and Mexican Drug Cartels. With his back against the wall, Brent and his team go on the offensive to protect their people and freshwater supplies. In a world of Artificial Intelligence, Drones and Humanoid Robots, high-tech and low-tech collide to change the face of our planet forever.
