The War Against Gravity is an eco-whodunit, a novel in which the natural environment is as much a character as any human being. Kristine Rosemary's debut novel shows her to be a gripping stylist as well as a committed environmentalist.

"Excellent description of the wooded coastal lands, an understanding of Northwest radical politics, a sharp sense of satire, and mouthwatering descriptions of seafood delicacies all contributing to the tale's success."

            -- Library Journal

"Descriptive passages about the Northwest, both its human and nonhuman inhabitants and the ways in which they are threatened, are right on the mark."

            -- Publisher's Weekly

"A madcap collage of environmental saboteurs, corporate criminals, the CIA, murders, conspiracies . . . is superimposed on the untameable landscape of the Pacific Northwest, where there still remains enough flora and fauna and weather to dwarf even the sleaziest human endeavors. Speaks with equal assurance of drug barons and phytoplankton, hot cars and killer whales. An amazing book, and timely."

            -- Carol Van Strum, author of A Bitter Fog:  Herbicides and Human Rights

"A perfect evocation of place and a remarkable elegy for the oldest trees, the wildest rivers, the totem spirits of the innocent past. Kristine Rosemary has the golden touch when it comes to nature writing."

            -- Daniel Yost, screenwriter of Drugstore Cowboy
