Description:
Imagine a world where the Earth has stopped turning. In 2059, this chilling reality has plunged one half of the globe into an endless frozen night and the other into a perpetual, scorching day. Life now clings precariously to a narrow, twilight strip where survival is possible. In an isolationist Britain, scientist Ellen Hopper, living on a frostbitten rig in the Atlantic, is called back to London by a dying mentor. She receives a cryptic letter containing a dangerous secret, one that those in power will stop at nothing to conceal. As Ellen navigates this stark and authoritarian Britain, she must unravel the truth, facing a government intent on maintaining control in a world transformed by this profound environmental catastrophe. This Sunday Times bestseller is a unique blend of dystopian fiction, techno-thriller, and conspiracy mystery, praised for its originality and believable world-building. Reviews highlight its taut suspense, political intrigue, and thought-provoking exploration of survival in a drastically changed world, making it a compelling read for fans of Robert Harris' Fatherland, Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, and John Lanchester's The Wall. Harlan Coben described it as a stunningly original thriller set in the world of tomorrow that will make you think about what's happening today. This signed first edition hardback is a valuable addition for collectors and readers seeking a gripping story that reflects on contemporary concerns through a powerful speculative lens.
