Petrus van Stijn's world is besieged by two prime engines of
destruction: massive geomagnetic storms caused by unprecedented
solar storms - protracted coronal mass ejections (CME), and climate
change wreaking unprecedented, but predictable collapse of the
Antarctic ice shelves. Petrus has other problems to contend with,
like surviving on a floating archipelago of ice, and then walking
2200 kilometers through a post-Apocalyptic world. At the same time,
Petrus will discover something of a true social and biological
paradise. Herein lies the paradox of a world where one species -
ours - is facing extinction, while others - many genetically
re-engineered - are enjoying a biodiversity renaissance. With a
Foreword by William Shatner, this provocative, lyrical, deeply
philosophical work of fiction explores the ethical limits of
science and technology, and the future of all life on earth.
