Summary
The world is devastated by catastrophic climate change. You have one hundred days to save it …
Half a billion climate refugees are flooding into the West, the global depression is getting worse and democracies are being crushed by the neo-fascist Yellow Armbands. In a desperate attempt to avert catastrophe, the Great Powers embark on the most monumental gamble of all time.
But climate scientist Irith Hardey is sure they’ve got it wrong – the US President’s pet scheme isn’t going to save the planet, but ruin it. Searching for the awful truth behind the Hundred Days project, she is hunted from blizzard-struck London to the Scottish Highlands and across the wild North Sea.
In a USA terrorised by gun-toting militias trying to bring down the President, Irith must confront the worst nightmare any 21st century woman can face, as she struggles to uncover the ghastly secret of the Life Lottery before the hundred days are up.
Critic reviews
"The action-packed plot of doomsday cults and planetary collapse isn't far from the truth." (The Times)
"A chilling suspense story set against a backdrop of 21st century environmental depletion and cultural degeneration. Portrays a frighteningly plausible future." (Library Journal)
