Fairhaven - A Novel of Climate Optimism traces the lives of a group of innovators, engineers, and visionaries as they struggle against the odds to bring climate solutions to Southeast Asia and to the world. Grace Chan, a young Malaysian working at the Fairhaven infrastructure project in Penang, is terrified of what the future might bring. She reluctantly comes to terms with the role that she and her colleagues will play in addressing that future, and the toll it will take on their own lives. Nearby, on an abandoned oil platform, three unlikely companions come together by chance as they discover an unexpected opportunity arising from a devastating accident. Meanwhile, in the distant north, a Japanese assistant professor takes a bold idea from concept to reality. As they work towards their common goals, a more powerful force lies in wait, which may bring them success or disaster. Praise for Fairhaven In a time when the narrative matters more than we can possibly imagine, the need for story telling that lets us reflect on who we are, who we're becoming, and the world we wish to create is incredibly important. This book is that story. It will open up a door to your imagination while serving as a bridge to the place of yourself that remembers our strengths and why we're here. It's beautiful and engaging and a true testament to our times. Anne Therese, Author of The Climate Optimist. 'Gripping drama bursting with inspiring ideas of what is possible: a map to the future' D.A. Baden, founder of Green Stories and author of 'Habitat Man.' 'This engrossing novel offers a rare combination of in-depth technical knowledge with a flair for telling compelling stories. It brings the story of a diverse cast of characters to life as they try to solve real climate change problems - before it's too late.' Catherine Cole, Asia Sustainability Advisor and former CEO, MOTIF Climate change is the most pressing environmental topic of today, as it has already affected this generation and is expected to be an even more severe issue for future generations to cope with. Reading this climate fiction book will educate and entertain you, and more importantly, tell you that individual actions can alleviate the climate crisis. Edwin Lau, Founder and Executive Director, The Green Earth 'No turning back now. We have crossed the threshold where fact will be stranger than fiction. Ironically good climate fiction like Fairhaven, may help us envision a path forward and give us inspiration for the challenging journey ahead.' John Englander, Author, Moving to Higher Ground, Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward (2021) The future of Earth's climate is a story we get to discover together. Climate fiction like Fairhaven is needed to illuminate the possibilities ahead. Tito Jankowski, CEO, AirMiners
