Catastrophic global warming has melted the ice caps-John Barrous will stop at nothing to stake his claim on the rich, virgin continent of Antarctica. After the murder of his wife, John escapes urban strife for the quiet life of farming. He and his fifteen-year-old daughter join in a United Nations PR event, but the Oklahoma-style land rush turns into a race against ruthless, armed competitors . . . and a corrupt politician determined to control this new land. Excerpt: Misfits from around the world, willing to fight for a new life. Faces around him had a hungry look as they sized up the competition. They had waited a lifetime for this chance, and no one wanted to be too friendly with someone they might end up killing later in the day.
Autorenporträt
K.E. Lanning was born in Houston, Texas and grew up a stone's throw from NASA's space program in the small Quaker town of Friendswood, TX, laced with white oyster shell roads and open fields dotted with huge live oaks-riding horses rather than bikes. Lanning is a fan and writer of commercial literary fiction and speculative science fiction, allowing the author to explore society, humanity, and our future. She's indie-published a climate fiction trilogy titled, The Melt Trilogy: A Spider Sat Beside Her, The Sting of the Bee and Listen to the Birds, with each novel garnering excellent Kirkus Reviews, and the last novel the recipient of Best New Novels of 2019 from Kirkus Reviews. In addition, she's published a series of book reviews and author interviews, including authors Claire Vaye Watkins, Kazuo Ishiguro, Hugh Howey, Margaret Atwood, Emily St. John Mandel, Andy Weir, and Cixin Liu.
