review 1: This is an interesting concept, that an oil heir might be interested in trying make a profit by cleaning up the planet instead of dirtying & defiling it through ever-more-onward oil exploration. Unfortunately, it suffers mightily from being irritatingly repetitive - honestly, Chas, how many times do I really need to be reminded that you "are a Worthington" and you "are your father's son" and again, you "are a Worthington"?

review 2: Heir to a long standing oil company wants to use money to R&D some methods to make the world a better place. Tired of hurdles from his board of directors, he claims the Garbage Patch (floating island of garbage the size of Texas) as his sovereign land. He quickly learns that UN doesn't take kindly to spontaneous nations. Add some indigenous garbage people, soviet nukes and a giant mutant octopus and you have a really fun book. less
