Overview
At midnight on New Year’ s Day, 2049, the Exodus Clock begins its final countdown.By the end of the year, rising seas will force the citizens of the Bishop Islands— a tiny Pacific atoll nation— to abandon their homeland forever. Hazelmary Moore, a seventy-four-year-old retired schoolteacher, has spent her life teaching the history of a country now on the brink of extinction. As evacuation plans accelerate and global powers tighten their grip, Hazelmary uncovers a chilling truth: the fate of her people was long decided by forces far beyond their shores.Drawn into protests and a global climate activist movement, she risks everything to expose a conspiracy and secure a future for her loved ones. As the countdown continues, the Bishop Islands become a flashpoint in a widening geopolitical conflict, and Hazelmary— a careful observer of history— emerges as an unlikely symbol of resistance. Half a Million Minutes is a gripping, lyrical story of climate displacement, political power, and the courage it takes to fight for home and family as time runs out.
