Mark has lived a life that has taken him all over the world, including thousands of sea miles in large and small vessels. He became a specialist in energy efficiency, witnessing man’s ability to cut greenhouse gas emissions while witnessing man’s reluctance to do so. He has witnessed the polluting of our oceans, the decline and loss of species.
He has witnessed the triumphs of mankind to save species, reverse diseases or tame the natural environment. Charles Dickens said 160 years ago: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
He decided to write a story that is an allegory of our times. It exploits so-called evidence that global warming can be reversed. All it needs are numerous volcanic eruptions to cloak the world with ash and aerosols, producing global cooling. Problem solved. Foolish? Incredulous? A Season of Darkness? A Winter of Despair? Yes, all those things.

Reviews
Volcanic Winter by Mark Rutherford is one of the most exciting, edge-of-your-seat stories I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Filled with current storylines, it exposes the political system perfectly in a story of high-octane thrills and spills. It is a scientific story but Mark has taken the time to ensure the non-scientific amongst us fully understand everything. The plot is thick with action and twists with a plot that engages you right from the start. A tense tale, the characters are brilliantly developed as real people in a storyline that we all know could very well happen at any time – nothing is beyond the realms of possibility anymore! Thoroughly enjoyed this and fully recommended it for anyone who wants to lose themselves in a novel that won’t let go of you until the last page. Looking forward to reading more from Mark Rutherford in the future.

What a great read!. The characters are interesting and well developed, the plot is intriguing and moves at a good pace, and the science is explained really well – important for a non-scientist like me. It kept me guessing right to the end. This book was recommended to me by others, and I’m really glad I listened to them. A great first novel by this talented author.
