Grumbles the novel

The first book of a three-part scifi series that puts a humorous spin on the world?s biggest environmental challenges. Pettie Grumbles is a retired special agent with the U.S. Postal Service in a future upstate New York town of Pr?t-a-Porter. Climate change has a firm hold on the planet, though most people don?t seem to notice, because a mad scientist with the sobriquet ?The Weatherman? has managed to fix it with a constant forecast of ?72 and sunny.? Grumbles is called back into service by her old boss, Tellmemydoom, to defeat this evil, and she?s off on her quest, dodging rivals tossing bombs made of stinking cabbage while reluctantly caring for homeless waifs.
