Bright Black Skies: A Novel

Nathan and Carrie Friedman are out of step with the world of 2094. While humanity has long ago abandoned the notions of environmentalism and conservation, the Friedmans continue clinging to desperately outdated concepts like plants, real food, colour and the protection of endangered species. Their warnings about the fate of the planet are first mocked, then marginalized and then, entirely ignored.

And so they were awed but not entirely surprised when Earth’s ecosystems began to fall, slowly at first, but then at a breathtaking pace. Standing in the dust of global ruin, Nathan realizes that he alone holds the antidote to Earth’s final extinction. As he battles self-doubt, enemy factions and the pitiless hands of the clock, the elation of survival is displaced by the urgent need to decide: should he die fighting for life as it was or join the world that is?
