''[[The Caretaker Trilogy]]'' is a sci-fi/fantasy book series by David Klass, which has the interesting distinction of being the first piece of fiction ever to be endorsed by Greenpeace, due to its [[Anvilicious]] environmentalism message. The books focus around one Jack Danielson, who gets caught up in a war from the future and battles the forces of evil to save the Earth from being ruined, first by saving the oceans (''Firestorm''), then the Amazon rainforest (''Whirlwind''), and apparently the third book (''Timelock'') will tackle global warming.
As silly as that makes the series sound, the story is very well-written and imaginative. Not least because of its unusual writing structure. It's written almost entirely in sentence fragments. Like this. All the time. Author claims they generate pace. Good pace. Sentence fragments make for fast-paced reading, particularly during the numerous action sequences.

* [[Animorphism]]: The Dark Lord can turn into a gigantic tarantula.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[The Chosen One]]: Jack is the only person, [[Because Destiny Says So|for no adequately explained reason]], who can find and use Firestorm. He is often refered to as the "Beacon of Hope" by Eko and Gisco, much to his irritation.
* [[Time Travel]]: The Dark Army and the Dannites ({{spoiler|including the protagonist}}) are both from the future. They've witnessed the end result of the ecosystem collapsing. One likes the result. The other does not.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: For some reason, only women are capable of this. Eko is the most blatant example, but the Gorm that Jack meets early on also uses it.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Dargon attempts this {{spoiler|although it's really just a ploy to gain Jack's cooperation long enough to find Firestorm. Jack sees right through it}}.
