In 1820, in the binary country towns of Woodbridge and Hedgely, Gloucestershire, England, Thomas Winter, bachelor of independent means, had a problem. He was in love with a young woman from a prominent family in the area, thoroughly attached to her countryside, but having always kept a rather itinerant life, working as an engineer about the country, he had to prove to her kin that he could be a reliable and productive member of their society before he could ask her to marry him. He therefore endeavored to increase the agricultural yields of the land surrounding these towns by applying the latest science and engineering of the day, yet to his surprise, he soon discovered a large faction of his neighbors didn’t believe in science! He found himself the target of a propaganda war, alongside his ally, parson Jonathan Moore, who had begun a lecture series focused on natural history, their antagonists motivated by religious ideology and, for the part of a handsome but dull landowner, romantic adversity. This is the story of how manufactured science denial can tear apart two neighborly towns, pitting brother against brother, and how just, right and scientific men prevail over such.

About the Author
Thomas Smyth is a science and clean energy advocate who used to battle fossil industry paid climate change disinformation online. He was an anonymous player in the current propaganda war concerning climate change and sustainable energy. If his faction triumphs, the economy, the middle class and the environment will thrive through the 21st century, and society will be able to progress to the next level of enlightenment. If his faction loses, then no art, nor wealth, nor child being produced today holds any meaning. The antagonists in his book are modeled after the disinformation agents he has battled online for many years now.
