08 Ben Elton: Books: Stark (1989)
"Stark has more money than God and the social conscience of a dog
on a croquet lawn. What's more, they know the Earth is dying.
Deep in Western Australia, where the Aboriginals used to milk the
trees, a planet-sized plot takes shape. Some green freaks pick up
the scent. A Pommie poseur, a brain-fried Vietnam Vet,
Aboriginals who lost their land ... not much against a conspiracy
that controls society. But EcoAction isn't in society; it just
lives in the same place, along with the cockroaches.
If you're facing the richest and most disgusting conspiracy in
history, you have to do more than stick up two fingers and say
'peace'."
