From the author of the best-selling and award-winning travel memoir Falling Uphill comes a prophetic dystopian novel.What if global warming isn't the problem, but a symptom of something much worse? The greatest mass extinctions in Earth's history were caused by cataclysmic oxygen depletion. Now, it has begun again, this time due to humanity's rampant industrialization - the burning of fossil fuels and the decimation of the ecosystems that produce oxygen. The oceans are already filled with giant dead zones, while cities and deserts overflow fertile lands. Breathless takes you into a plausible near-future as humanity crosses the tipping point and the Earth's atmosphere is destroyed in a global firestorm. A handful of survivors struggle to cooperate before the infrastructure fails, and question whether it is worth saving themselves, much less humanity. If you like post-apocalyptic classics like On The Beach, Earth Abides and Alas Babylon, Breathless will keep you turning pages to learn the fate of humanity.

Autorenporträt
Scott Stoll asked himself a question: "If I could do anything, what would I do?" His answer resulted in a quest for happiness around the world on a bicycle (32,344 miles, 4 years, 59 countries, 6 continents). His adventures are chronicled in his best-selling and award-winning book Falling Uphill, a tale described as having moments from pure survival to pure enlightenment. He was honored to be the Cultural Ambassador to Argentina by the US Department of State and received the Hosteling International's "Spirit of Adventure Award," among other distinctions. Not least of all, Scott is proud to have been blogging since before blogging was even a word.
