Description
What if the only way to save the planet is to kidnap the billionaires destroying it?
For readers who grew up on The Hunger Games and are ready for a quieter but no less daring confrontation of power, They Could Be Saviors turns the rebellion on its head. Instead of youth rising against authority, the world’s most powerful men are the ones taken captive. But they're not fighting each other. They're fighting their own consciences.
It imagines what happens when those at the very top are stripped of control and made to face the future they’ve helped endanger.
Five billionaires awaken in captivity, cut off from their empires and stripped of control. Among them is Josh Latham, CEO of the world's largest corporation, who built his fortune on exploitation while the planet burned. Their captors are not soldiers but healers: a collective of women determined to break through their defenses using psychedelic therapy.
At the center is Mel, a grief-hardened visionary who believes that only by dismantling the egos of these men can they be compelled to face the climate crisis they’ve ignored, and perhaps begin to repair it. But transformation is messy, especially when it's forced -- and if the men refuse to change, they may never walk free again.
They Could Be Saviors is a hopeful, near-future novel that explores billionaires confronting the damage they've done, climate justice, and the unpredictable road to redemption. Blending the transformative tension of Nine Perfect Strangers with the intimacy of character-driven speculative fiction, it asks:
What would it take to make the world’s wealthiest men finally fight for everyone, not just the elite? And does the end justify the means?
