Good Earth, Bad Earth

In 2032, justice didn’t come from the courts. It came from the sky.

Without warning, the world’s most corrupt leaders, climate profiteers, and enablers of human suffering vanished. No trials. No negotiations. Just removal. An alien force known only as the Arbiters intervened—not to punish, but to confront humanity with the consequences of its moral collapse and its near-total disregard for the Earth.

Harvey Langston, an autocrat who rose to power after democracy fell, wakes on a dying planet stripped of control. Mateo, a wrongfully deported gay man who survived the very system Langston created, returns to a fractured United States seeking reckoning. Jack, a retired federal agent, is sent to Exile Earth to uncover the truth about those who vanished and to face the deeper question of whether redemption is still possible for those who caused the collapse.

The exiled awaken on a scorched replica of Earth, ravaged by past nuclear destruction and plagued by an unstable climate. Food is scarce. The air is toxic. The soil is dead. Survival is brutal. As desperation sets in, each must confront the values they abandoned and the world they helped ruin.

Back on Earth, those left behind begin to rebuild. But this story is not about restoring nations. It is about restoring conscience.

This novel asks whether humanity can continue without empathy, whether compassion can survive in systems built on greed, cruelty, and environmental destruction, and whether those responsible for the collapse can ever change. The Arbiters did not destroy the old world. They held up a mirror. What happens next is entirely human.

Good Earth Bad Earth 2032 is a cautionary tale grounded in today’s world and a reminder of how close we may already be to the point of no return. A powerful and morally charged vision of consequence, survival, and reckoning.
