Five kidnapped billionaires. A hidden compound. A sisterhood of psychedelic therapists forcing the men who broke the planet to fix it. No negotiations. No ransom demands.
Josh Latham, CEO of the world's largest corporation, is extracted from his home and held captive with four other billionaires. Mel, the director of the operation, believes these men could solve climate change if they cared about anything besides themselves, money, and power. But she’s drinking again and running out of time to prove she's right. If the mission fails, none of them go home. Not the billionaires, and not the women who took them.
Diana Colleen is a Canadian, Seattle-based psychedelic facilitator and writer whose work explores the intersection of consciousness, healing, and social change. A survivor of trauma who experienced profound personal transformation through psychedelic-assisted therapy, she brings lived experience to her fiction in a way that blends emotional honesty with visionary thinking. Her writing challenges systems of power while imagining what humanity could become if compassion and accountability guided our evolution. Diana’s debut novel, They Could Be Saviors, reflects her belief that inner transformation and systemic change are deeply interconnected. Drawing from her training and experience in psychedelic facilitation, she examines how people—and societies—can evolve when they confront the mindsets that drive harm. She is particularly interested in the distinction between responsibility and fault, and how reclaiming agency can be a powerful and healing act. Her work invites readers to rethink the narratives we’ve inherited about power, worth, and the future.
Josh believes he earned his place at the top the way a predator earns a meal.
In his mind, Omnicia is proof that he is the fittest, and his sons are proof that the fitness gets passed down. That belief lets him look at rising seas and shrug, because anyone who suffers from them must not have been strong enough to avoid it.
If other people's children don't make it, he sees that as nature sorting things out.
I wrote him this way because the survival of the fittest story is the one powerful men like to tell about themselves. They call it merit and drive. They rarely call it luck or a head start.
I did not write him to be liked.
Book Excerpt
They Could Be Saviors
Josh didn’t dwell on ethical reckonings—especially not his own. Rising sea levels? Not his problem. If he was honest, which was rare, he didn’t give a shit about the planet. His sons would live comfortably for the rest of their lives, thanks to his relentless drive that took Omnicia from a thought to the largest corporation on Earth. If his kids were dumb enough to bring their own children into this mess, well, that was on them.
