    “An enthralling pyroclastic flow of poetic flagellation ripping the mask of stoic indifference and lapdog-media concocted majestic stature of a narcissistic tyrant. And every wordstroke of the poet never fails to decode and eviscerate the megalomaniac to the grave.”

    I guess saving the world once wasn't enough … 
    First it was the auroras, lighting up Europe every night. 
    Then came the weird clouds over Africa. 
    The tidal shifts … the failing crops … the crazy changes to animal migration … 
    And I think all of this is just the start. 
    I don't buy the official line that these are natural occurrences. 
    Not anymore. Not since a whistleblower hid a coded message in my invitation for an upcoming commemoration ceremony on The Vita. 
    Now I know the truth—that Earth is in serious danger from the side-effects of their reckless research. 
    Since the moment I found out, I’ve known what I have to do. 
    Three years ago, I went into space and almost died saving the world from a madman’s evil plan. 
    When I made it home, I swore I'd never leave my family behind again. 
    But to make sure we'll still have a planet to call home in another three years, I have to go back. 
    And this time, they're coming with me …
