Overview
International author R.W.K. Clark unleashes an iconic and terrifying dystopian novel about environmental mayhem, a truly unforgettable, coming-of-age story.
An apocalyptic issue brings two teenagers together in this suspenseful read about environmental degradation and the optimism of youth.
What follows is entertaining, and masterfully told science fiction fantasy, as only R.W.K. Clark can deliver.
I intended for 'Out to Sea' to be a novel with a very pertinent message while forming a bond between star-crossed teen lovers. It was somewhat challenging to know when and where romance was genuinely appropriate with the ecological state of the world in shambles. After all, the planet is dying before the eyes of the main characters, and they are literally watching everyone celebrate it.
The basic plot of the dystopia revolves around a chemical spill. However, some have found a way to exploit the situation. The spillage has made the appearance of the water indescribably gorgeous, even entrancing, to a certain level. People purchase atrociously priced luxury cruises for the sole purpose of gawking at the lifeless seas. They seem to have no care for what the façade of beauty they are looking at really means. It is truly a horrible thing, and I wanted the level of depravity and complacency to which human beings stoop to be stark and ugly.
Tripp Young is my main conservationist on this ocean voyage. As the only son of wealthy parents, he is expected to go on these yearly excursions. They are two of the countless who have bought into the horrible exploitation of the planet's impending death, and they seem blind to the reality of the environmental disaster. It is an amusement park ride to them and all others like them. But Tripp is neither ignorant nor calloused to what is taking place. For a seventeen-year-old environmentalist, he is very in touch with logic and sense, as well as the brokenhearted emotion he nurses for the world that was once lush with grass and other plant life.
While on this dystopian cruise, Tripp meets Heidi Collins and is instantly smitten with the intelligent petite, environmentally conscious redhead. Together, they witness some pretty horrific things, which can all be attributed to the tainted sea surrounding them. It pulls them closer and closer as the days pass.
To put it simply, 'Out to Sea' is an ecologically conscious romantic suspense that tells a story and teaches a lesson. It may not feel good, but experiences rarely do. I think by the end of this book, whether the reader loves it or hates it, they will never forget it. This is one of my personal favorites as a writer, and it had an impact on me that my other works haven't. It may be a fiction novel. But the pain and despair I put in the pages was anything but a fairy tale. I'm confident the emotion will help get the message across loud and clear.
