Susan Koswan is an award-winning Canadian environmentalist. In this futuristic novel, she weaves a story in which the ideological conflict between environmentalists and a handful of corporate demagogues has become impossible to resolve, driving both camps underground.

The Vital Few, awaiting salvation in their secret fortress, have seriously underestimated the power and resilience of HUGS, the Gaia-loving Humane Urbane Guerrilla Society. Humanity's fate, however, may be decided by a mysterious alien culture with a vested interest in the outcome.
