Overview
A dystopian epic of survival and memory in a climate-ravaged America
Long after climate change has wiped out millions and reshaped the world, the US has ended in civil war and rule by corporations. A privileged class of oligarchs and their private security units live under climate-controlled domes, while the dispossessed majority struggles to survive.
In the wastelands of Sacrifice – once the American Southwest – a charismatic brother and sister known in whispers as “The Twins” gather an army of the desperate and launch a brief, terrifying insurgency. Decades later, the Reunited States rises again – colder, harder, more religious and more exclusionary than ever.
But the blazing legacy of the Twins, half-history, half-legend, lingers in surprising ways…
Equal parts futuristic western and literary epic, Dennison Smith’s novel confronts what is lost – and what may yet be born.
