Publisher Description
A revolution has taken over the government of the United States and the environment has been saved. All pollution has been banned and reversed. It's a bright, green new world. But this new world comes with a great cost. The United States is ruled by a dictatorship and the corporations are fighting back. Joining them are an increasing number of rebels angered by the dictatorship of Chairman Rahma. The Chairman's power is absolute and appears strong, but in The Little Green Book of Chairman Rahma by Brian Herbert, cracks are beginning to show as new weapons are developed by the old corporate powers, foreign alliances begin to make inroads into America's influence . . . and strange reports of mutants filter through the government's censorship.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Twenty years after the Corporate War of 2041, the Green States of America follows its radical environmentalist leader, Chairman Rahma Popal, and two trusted eco-techs, Joss Stuart and Kupi Landau, to the brink of another battle. Joss and Kupi use science overseer (SciO) "splitting" and "greenforming" tools to fragment man-made constructions into basic molecules and return land to its natural state. Meanwhile, Rahma must defend the GSA against the nuke-wielding Panasians and plug a security leak of the SciO technology. The tale becomes much more electrifying when a freak explosion gives Joss splitting and greenforming superpowers. Kupi, who is a much more interesting character than Joss before his transformation, slowly fades once he gets his powers, while Joss embarks on a rushed romance with a new love interest, Evana, one of Rahma's hundred children. Herbert skimps on dystopian motifs, creating a fresh and forbidding near-future world.
Customer Reviews
Disappointed
I wanted to read this book despite some mediocre reviews. It seems like the end of the book was written in a rush. I’ve enjoyed his other books, but I can’t say I was a fan of this one.
