Randy's Books
The Carbon Trap (Carbon Series: Book 1)
Environmentalists worry about too much carbon dioxide, but what’s too little? At 150 ppm nearly all life on Earth dies.
What if global financiers manipulated the global warming crisis to gain control over humanity's resources, freedoms, and population? Think it's not happening now?
What if someone with the financial and technical abilities decided mankind was a virus and used carbon dioxide trapping technology to plunge population levels by crashing life-essential CO2 to new lows? Think it's not possible?
These are questions Anna Picard must face in The Carbon Trap, the first book in The Carbon Series. At the height of the global warming crisis, the United Nations attempts to control all carbon emissions, and authorizes a series of programs it deems necessary to save humanity. A progressive US government enthusiastically endorses the UN Carbon Trapping program, and to help pay for it, will sell Alaska.
Anna is an amoral fixer, an employee Agenda 21 member and global financier Alexis Swanson trained to help recruit his corporate army and neutralize his enemies. It is her job to unleash a global hacker network to help destroy the carbon based industries and funnel insider-trading profits to Swansen. One of her recruits is Dr. Sven Johansson, a brilliant geneticist and President of Snath Biotechnology, who designs life forms to trap CO2. But Sven has more ambitious plans. At a UN conference in the Maldives held to impose draconian carbon regulations, not everyone is happy, some industrial executives realize data has been falsified. To protect her scheme, Anna frames one of the execs for murder. Her plans are complicated when she falls in love with Dr. Pete Heyward, the son of the man she framed for murder. Pete is a US Marine amputee who sees past her malevolent deeds to rejuvenate the morality of her youth. After a series of genetically modified carbon trapping life forms is unleashed upon the Earth, Anna must confront the evils she helped unleash, and prevent an even bigger disaster from unfolding that would destroy most life on Earth.
This is a high-tech ecological thriller that takes the reader from the Maldives, to the French Riviera, and the heartland of Texas. It introduces cutting edge technologies and new concepts, used for the first time in a novel, that will have striking implications for society.

Muckraker Series
“Pink Slime...it’s in our food!” Investigative journalist, Dedrick 'Digger' Cavanaugh tells his editor while watching a news broadcast...at lunch. Disgusted with the visual image and description of the slurried meat added to his cheeseburger, he sets on an assignment to investigate just how bad or good this stuff is. But is it that simple? Starting with the confronting of his local supermarket general manager, an attractive and challenging woman, he starts to understand both sides of the issue. What he finds is a government-sanctioned, multi-billion dollar meat process, it’s industry operating under arcane labeling regulations and technical loopholes. As Digger works his way up the food chain, he starts to focus on the real problem – government paternalism. But there are those who don’t want the whole story told. This is a story straight out of the headlines.
