Eden: When saving the planet becomes its greatest threat.
What if humanity finally solved climate change, only to discover that the solution was becoming the greatest threat the planet had ever faced?
For eleven years, Dr Maya Chen has worked to create Eden, an extraordinary engineered plant capable of removing vast amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. When the results finally prove successful, the world embraces Eden as the answer to a climate crisis that has threatened generations.
Seven years later, ecologist Dr Daniel Okafor notices something strange in an Eden plantation in Brazil.
The plants are thriving.
The carbon numbers are exceptional.
But the forest is silent.
There are fewer insects. Fewer birds. The soil is changing. And the same subtle pattern is beginning to appear across plantations on different continents.
Maya, Daniel and their colleagues begin searching for an explanation. What they discover forces them to question everything they believed about Eden, and about the solution they gave the world.
Because Eden isn't poisoning the environment.
It is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
It is simply doing it too well.
As the consequences spread and the world's dependence on Eden makes stopping it almost impossible, Maya must find a way to understand the plant before the balance of nature is pushed beyond the point of recovery.
Eden is a fast moving scientific thriller about ambition, unintended consequences and the dangerous moment when humanity discovers that saving the world may not be enough.
