Morton begins to doubt Drake and withholds funding for NERF. Drake is obsessed with promoting the theory of global warming as a catastrophe, in part to bolster the case. Drake and his team are preparing for a lawsuit filed by the Pacific island Vanutu against the United States, who it charges as responsible for the global warming causing rising sea levels that threaten the nation. These include the philanthropist Morton, his lawyer Peter Evans, and NERF’s director Nicholas Drake. Researchers John Kenner and Sanjong Thapa, while tracking ELF, cross paths with associates of the National Environmental Research Fund (NERF). Later, these events all prove to be connected to the eco-terrorist group, the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). Part 1, “Akamai,” opens by describing seemingly unrelated events: the mysterious death of a researcher in Paris named Jonathan Marshall, and the purchase of industrial equipment in Malaysia.
