The story follows Nimrod “Nim” Goldman, a public relations executive for Golden State Power and Light, California’s largest utility company. As the state faces rising electricity demands, environmental protests, and threats of sabotage, Nim becomes caught between corporate responsibility, public safety, and the complex moral questions surrounding energy production. Hailey weaves together multiple perspectives—from executives and engineers to activists and ordinary citizens—showing how a single crisis can ripple through an entire society. When extremists launch violent attacks on the power grid and a deadly heatwave pushes the system to its limits, Nim must navigate professional pressures and personal temptation while trying to prevent catastrophe. Blending suspense with real-world technical detail, the novel exposes the vulnerabilities of modern infrastructure and the ethical dilemmas at the heart of energy consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1805\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1098\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1101\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArthur Hailey\u003c\/strong\u003e (1920–2004) was a bestselling British-Canadian novelist known for his meticulously researched, industry-focused thrillers that reveal the inner workings of complex systems.
