FINAL CHANCE
Completing the trilogy, FINAL CHANCE may be science fiction, but it reads like a history of the future … finding Vijay Patel in a world struggling to survive. nbv
By 2046, climate change has reached a tipping point. After decades of pandemics, increasing devastation by hurricanes and tornados, rising seas and burning forests, freezing winters, and unbearable summers, the “moment of truth” comes as an unprecedented heatwave kills over half a Saudi city. The air was just too hot to breathe.
With food supplies already diminishing around the globe and disease running rampant, leaders of every nation recognize the need for drastic, do-or-die measures. The solution is a complete, universal ban on fossil fuels and the doming of all human civilization.
Not everyone is willing to go along – at first. But there is no alternative. By 2065, all major cities, farms, factories, and wildlife “revitalization zones” are protected under glass in a climate-controlled, solar-energized environment.
Final Chance is the story of building that brave new world and the two remarkable families who played a crucial role in making this mind-boggling project possible … despite the odds.
It was, indeed, everyone’s “Final Chance” to survive. So why was anyone trying to sabotage these efforts? With humor and satire, Fleisher reveals the truth.
If you like James Rosone, James Patterson, Lee Childs, Jason Trapp, or Jason Kasper, you’ll enjoy Final Chance!
“Van Fleisher has crafted a story that is not just realistic but hugely imaginative, weaving elements of suspense and intrigue into it in a way that is fascinating. It is the perfect meld of science fiction and political thriller … and the superior storytelling craft keeps the pages turning in the hands of readers.” — D. Rhodes, The Book Commentary
“After delivering two impactful novels in a series that mixes politics with forthcoming technological advancements … Fleisher creates a story that will have readers thinking and highly entertained in equal measure. Near future social, political, and technological issues converge into a well-paced narrative that provides a glimpse into what might be and how some will stop at nothing to stymie progress.
Kudos, Mr. Fleisher, on a great novel and entertaining series. I could not ask for anything better.” — M. Pechey, Reedsy Discovery
Thanks to Mr. Fleisher for creating this third story of his thought-provoking trilogy. FINAL CHANCE, the third book in this series, is a compelling story that addresses pressing global issues such as the climate crisis. Drawing from the disciplines of politics science and technology, this memorable reading experience is as entertaining as it is a pressing call to action. My thanks to the author for bringing awareness to the absolute urgency of this call.

What readers say about the book🧐
I purchased this book prior to release because the first two - Final Notice and Final Act - stoked my concern for our future as a nation and species. I wasn't disappointed. Knowing the main characters made it easy to jump into their future, now a frightening one. The solution for mankind to survive the world-wide environmental crisis until Earth can heal, is to dome the cities against the sun, and switch over to solar power in order to eliminate air pollution. But that enrages the oil moguls, and the politicians in their pockets, to the point of assassination and wreaking terror and tragedy. The underlying story of Final Chance is about the woman who is born to take on the responsibility of being POTUS. All-in-all, this is a thought-provoking, and sometimes snarky, look at politics, and the very real concern for our current environmental crisis.

About the Author →
Van Fleisher
During my first two careers with an airline, and in management consulting, I literally lived on planes and in airports. The antidote to terminal boredom was reading, and I judged authors by how well they distracted me from the confines and discomfort of an economy seat, and how short they could make a long flight feel. So a big thanks to James Patterson, Tom Clancy, Patricia Cornwell, John Grisham, and others for making thousands of flight hours disappear.
When I retired, I wrote my first book, FINAL NOTICE. It highlighted my concerns with America’s approach to gun ownership, the growing prejudice against immigrants, our broken political system, and a lack of respect for our senior citizens. To my surprise, thousands of readers loved it and are still loving it. The sequel, FINAL ACT, continued with those themes and added support to the #MeToo movement. I also added some Russians to stir the plot!
Finally, FINAL CHANCE, begs the question, “Is it sci-fi or a history of the future?” Climate change coupled with special interest intrigue.
Based on readers’ comments, I have adapted the first two books into a two-part screenplay.
