______________
Dive into the pulse-pounding world of Sean & Julie: Eco Cops - The Case of the Toxic Train, a graphic novel that tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: environmental justice. Now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major platforms in both e-book and print, this graphic novel gives you a taste of the full novel, focusing on the first two gripping chapters.
The story kicks off with a catastrophic train derailment that unleashes a deadly chemical fire in a small town-a scenario all too real for many communities across America. These trains often rumble through densely populated areas, and it’s the poorer, predominantly Black neighborhoods that suffer the most. The novel doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities: outdated homes, scarce resources, and a lack of safety measures leave these communities vulnerable to the worst possible outcomes.
While the train accident in our novel is fictional, it’s based on real-life disasters that occurred before the year 2000-disasters that devastated lives and exposed the deep inequalities in how safety is distributed. Despite decades of progress and billions of dollars funneled into agencies like the EPA and OSHA, the horrifying truth is that we haven’t learned enough. Just last year, in 2023, a similar accident struck Palestine, Ohio, proving that these dangers are far from being a thing of the past.
As chemical engineers who have lived through spills and industrial accidents, we’ve poured our firsthand experiences into this story. We want to pull you into the nightmare, to make you feel the fear and uncertainty that grips a town when disaster strikes. This graphic novel sets the stage for Sean and Julie’s relentless investigation into the cause of the derailment, pulling back the curtain on a system that too often leaves the most vulnerable in the dust.
To fully understand the depth of these characters and the stakes at play, we recommend starting with the first novel in the series. But whether you’re a returning fan or a new reader, The Case of the Toxic Train is a must-read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
