"Paul Hardisty is a visionary." – Luke McCallin
"A superbly handled tale of struggle and survival in a maimed world." – The Times
"Paul Hardisty is a fine writer." – Lee Child
Kweku Ashworth is a child of the cataclysm, born on a sailboat to parents fleeing the devastation in search of refuge in the Southern Ocean. Growing up in a world forever changed, his only connection to the events that set the planet on its course to disaster were the stories his step-father, long-dead, recorded in his manuscript, "The Forcing."
However, there are significant gaps in his stepfather's account, and when Kweku stumbles upon a clandestine broadcast by someone close to the men who forced the globe into a climate catastrophe, he knows that it is time to find out for himself.
Kweku and his young family set out on a perilous voyage across a devastated planet. What they find will challenge not only their faith in humanity but also their ability to stay alive.
The devastating and nerve-shattering prequel to the critically acclaimed thriller "The Forcing," a story of survival, hope, and the power of the human spirit in a world torn apart by climate change.
