A frozen world. A besieged city. A hidden diary.

Oskar takes up arms to fight alongside his friends.

But there is another way for him to save the city –

They tried to save the world, but only made things worse. Now it is up to Oskar, and the words written in a diary, hidden in the library nearly 200 years ago that tell of what happened and why the world froze.

The key to the future is a book from the past.

The world has frozen. Oskar must take up arms to help defend the city.

But perhaps fighting isn’t the only way – for Oskar has found an old diary, hidden in the city library -

How interesting and timely is this - geoengineering gone wrong is a theme of both my CliFi novels Permafrost and The Arid Lands but both present very different, in fact almost opposite, outcomes!

Day 2 of the Narratess sale is well underway. I often think SciFi gets a bit overlooked in these events which tend to be quite fantasy heavy. But there are some great SF books to choose from over at indiebook.sale including The Arid Lands if you like a future set conspiracy 😎
