From the brilliant, bestselling author ofΒ Child 44Β comes a suspenseful and fast-paced novel about an Antarctic colony of global apocalypse survivors seeking to reinvent civilization under the most extreme conditions imaginable.
The world has fallen. Without warning, a mysterious and omnipotent force has claimed the planet for their own. There are no negotiations, no demands, no reasons given for their actions. All they have is a message: humanity has thirty days to reach the one place on Earth where they will be allowed to existβ¦Antarctica.
Cold PeopleΒ follows the perilous journeys of a handful of those who endure the frantic exodus to the most extreme environment on the planet. But their goal is not merely to survive the present. Because as they cling to life on the ice, the remnants of their past swept away, they must also confront the urgent challenge: can they change and evolve rapidly enough to ensure humanityβs future? Can they build a new society in the sub-zero cold?
Original and imaginative, as profoundly intimate as it is grand in scope,Β Cold PeopleΒ is a masterful and unforgettable epic.
