ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – June 4, 2026 – Independent author R.W.K. Clark has announced the release of Living Legacy, an environmental horror and dystopian suspense novel that explores the consequences of corporate negligence, environmental contamination, and societal breakdown.

The story follows Alicia Gaden, a biology student at UCLA who begins noticing alarming behavioral changes among friends, classmates, and residents throughout the city. What initially appears to be isolated incidents soon escalates into widespread aggression and social instability, creating a growing public crisis.

Determined to uncover the source of the outbreak, Alicia teams up with chemistry student Jace Booth. Their investigation leads them to a controversial industrial product known as Soligel, developed by a corporation accused of prioritizing profits over public safety. As evidence mounts, the pair discovers that contamination may have entered a critical public resource, placing an entire population at risk.

As conditions worsen and social order begins to collapse, Alicia and Jace must rely on their scientific knowledge and determination to expose the truth before the damage becomes irreversible.

Blending survival suspense with environmental themes, Living Legacy examines the dangers of unchecked corporate power, the importance of scientific accountability, and the challenges of responding to a rapidly escalating public emergency.

“With Living Legacy, I wanted to create a story rooted in realistic environmental concerns while exploring how ordinary people respond when institutions fail,” said author R.W.K. Clark. “The novel highlights the importance of critical thinking, responsibility, and cooperation when confronting large-scale crises.”

The novel is available in hardcover, paperback, and digital formats through major online retailers, including Amazon.
