“Land Marks is an important and powerful novel, and deserves its place in a growing literature of ecological resistance.”
—Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words and Endgame

“This polemical outing is both an elegy for ecosystems already lost and a call to action.”
—Publisher’s Weekly

Once you’ve experienced the devastation of fracking, nothing but stopping it makes sense.

In the river-crossed north woods of Michigan, Kate, Brett, Sonya, and Mark, mentored by their former professor Rebecca, keep watch as North American Energy (NorA) connects a corridor of frack well sites deep in the state forests. When NorA expands in unexpected directions and their bigger plan becomes clear, the action begins.

As grassroots activists prepare to stop NorA’s dangerous superfrac, stresses other than the fracturing of the bedrock appear: Sonya is arrested, Rebecca reveals her hidden past, and the one person who knows both women’s stories arrives in camp. But love and solidarity want to win—even if most showdowns with Big Oil don’t end well for those who take a stand. 

Land Marks is a tribute to the waterways that connect us, the land that sustains us, and the moments that inspire us to rise up and say, “No more!”
