"Eccentric, hilarious. . . . This may not be the first environmental novel, but it's the first one that produces belly laughs."-Mary Bringle, author of "Murder Most Gentrified""Firewater" is a brutally funny environmental suspense novel featuring Chief Shelldrake, favorite son for the U.S. presidency and last hope for the world's survival. A perfect anti-hero for the post-apocalypse, Shelldrake is equal parts Ralph Nader (in his zealous environmental activism), Sitting Bull (in his proud tribal loyalties), Huey Long (in his fiery demagogic populism) and Bill Clinton (in his unquenchable appetite for voluptuous young women).Edward Stone Cohen (1937-"1999) was born in Massachusetts and was a tireless environmental activist.
