America City

By Chris Beckett

Book Overview

A nation divided by climate, stories will determine its fate. One century from now, a changed climate is forcing mass migrations across America. As tensions rise between north and south, publicist Holly Peacock finds herself working for Senator Slaymaker, a politician determined to unite the country.

But as Slaymaker launches a bid for the presidency, Holly discovers that winning hearts and minds in the whisperstream--where stories are everything and truth counts for little--may come at a devastating cost. Can she help him bring America together, or will their campaign set the nation on an irreversible path to self-destruction?

For readers of speculative fiction and political thrillers, America City explores the future of American identity in the face of environmental crisis. Will ambition and manipulation triumph, or can empathy and understanding still prevail?
