About this ebook
In a drowning world, could you stay afloat?
The global economy has been ruined by catastrophic climate change and paranoid governments will do anything to crush dissent. Irith, a young gene researcher, is thrown onto the streets and, with nothing but the clothes on her back, fights to survive in a predatory world.
Caught up a battle between Security and a cabal of rebels, she has no choice but to help the rebels' assault on a secret data centre deep below London. They steal files containing the code for a dreadful terminator virus, but no one can decipher it.
The rebels are hunted across the world to New Orleans, slowly drowning under the rising seas, where they plan to destroy the laboratory where the virus is being made. As the hurricane of the century bears down on the sinking city, Irith struggles to crack the secret of the virus before it wipes out all humanity.
Then she must defeat a fanatical eco-terrorist who believes that the only way to save the planet is to erase humanity from it – starting with her.
You won't want to miss this edge-of-the-seat eco-thriller by million-selling author Ian Irvine.
