Dean Warren has had a distinguished and varied career. As a young veteran of the Bikini Atom bomb tests, he attended UCLA, The London School of Economics, and Harvard. While in London, he and two other graduate students drove from London to New Delhi, India. Later, he sold Lockheed Aircraft in Southwest Asia and was promoted to Director of Marketing for Lockheed International. The State Department then lured him to run Program Planning for the Agency of International Development. He finished his working career as Director of Strategic Planning for Lockheed Martin Electronics and Missiles Group in Orlando, Florida.

His experiences and writing skills have led him in retirement to publish illustrated memoirs of his nuclear and car trip adventures, as well as five science fiction, speculative novels.

They have also produced short stories, from which collection he has selected twenty four. They all involve modern issues and propose adventurous solutions. They include: the clash of science with culture the gender war means of avoiding the ills of age and death the future of mankind deployment of Star Wars the politics of a space empire facing the disasters brought by global warming death dealing with the invasion of aliens genetic hybridization peacemaking inventing faster than light travel settling a new planet corporate behavior a Palestine solution

The year is 2062 and humanity has reached the "tipping point" of which the world's scientists had warned. A global blanket of CO2 has raised temperatures so much that ice sheets melted, seas rose, coral died, species migrated, and farms became poisoned by salt water. And, no matter what mankind could now do, the blanket and its effects would last for hundreds of years. The few feet of ocean rise will be succeeded by a return to seas historically two hundred feet higher than currently. Droughts, floods, and mass human die-offs will initiate wars. A bright physics student invents a way to travel faster than light so that humanity may escape from the horrors of global warming. He must persuade his peers, fight deniers, and combat rising oceans, all the while managing a complex love life.

By 2106, the overpopulated, heated-up world's a mess. Disorder brings an oppressive "Brotherhood" to power in the northern hemisphere. The party believes in male superiority, the privileges of property, and dictatorial rule. Science has produced faster-than-light space ships, however. Jan Sussinissen, the son of a rebel leader, sneaks on board one such ship. He will pretend to scout a portion of an earthlike planet that troubled discoverers named New Start. The Brothers plan to implant there a feudal economy with Brotherhood bosses and serf-like, agricultural workers. Jan, in escaping, also hopes to infect such a society with civilized values. He lands in the forested north of the planet with a member of the Brotherhood. "Insect men," eight-foot creatures that jump like grasshoppers and climb trees, but can't swim or survive severe cold, immediately attack them. Gunshots don't stop the horrors, which strip Jan's companion of his flesh. Our protagonist escapes them by swimming to an island. There, he uses survival skills he acquired as a youth in his native Northern Canada. He builds a canoe and, finally, a cabin on an island in the far north. Jan struggles to reconstitute the technology developed by mankind over thousands of years. He figures out how to insulate a drafty log shelter, cure skins and make warm clothes, and how to concoct soap, vinegar, bread, smelting coke, and other essentials. Jan learns at a Brotherhood administrative center that fission explosives have been detonated in the ports of America and Europe. Also, the Senior Brother identifies him as a rebel "ringer." Thus, Jan must flee the center to avoid execution. Later, he returns for a short time to lead a rebellion of refugee serfs. Barbara Levy, a highly resourceful "entertainer," helps. After victory, a small cadre of skilled men and women join Jan at his homestead. In response to the nuclear attack, the Brotherhood drops fusion bombs on Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, and Riyadh. Space-borne waves of Brothers who flee a convulsing earth recapture the center and re-enslave Barbara and other rebels. As a result of the bombing, earthquakes and volcanoes sprout in the subduction zones around the Arabian tectonic plate. A growing cloud of noxious fumes and basalt dust circles the globe, blanking out the sun. Before earth fully dies, rebels hijack space ships and, under the command of Jan's father, Hake, re-conquer the New Start administrative center. The insect men are evolving toward civilization. Conscious of the human threat, they swarm around the center, determined to eliminate the invaders. Jan, Barbara, and Hake organize a river-borne exodus of six hundred rebels and ex-serfs. Their destination is Jan's northern nucleus of a settlement. Another Brotherhood location is weakened by guilt over the demise of earth. After destroying most of its offensive ability, Jan returns to his settlement to prepare for the refugees. Attacked, he kills the leading Brotherhood official and his pirate crew. Jan has eliminated the authoritarian poison brought from earth. Still, the threat of the dominant native species remains. Several expeditions fight their way down river until the refugees encounter a driftwood dam swarming with thousands of insect men. Jan returns with a naturally occurring insecticide that clears the river and promises permanent superiority over insect men. After victory, Jan and his people celebrate a thanksgiving. They've successfully gained a new start for the last humans in the universe.
