INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Today Show #ReadwithJenna Book
Club Pick In a near-future northern settlement, the fates of a
young woman, a professor, and a mysterious collective of
researchers collide in this mesmerizing and transportive debut that
"delivers its big ideas with suspense, endlessly surprising twists,
and abundant heart" (Jessamine Chan, New York Times bestselling
author). In remote northern Canada, a team led by a visionary
American architect is break-ing ground on a building project called
Camp Zero, intended to be the beginning of a new way of life. A
clever and determined young woman code-named Rose is offered a
chance to join the Blooms, a group hired to entertain the men in
camp--but her real mission is to secretly monitor the mercurial
architect in charge. In return, she'll receive a home for her
climate-displaced Korean immigrant mother and herself. Rose quickly
secures the trust of her target, only to discover that everyone has
a hidden agenda, and nothing is as it seems. Through skill-fully
braided perspectives, including those of a young professor longing
to escape his wealthy family and an all-woman military research
unit struggling for survival at a climate station, the fate of Camp
Zero's inhabitants reaches a stunning crescendo. Atmospheric,
fiercely original, and utterly gripping, Camp Zero is an
electrifying page-turner and a masterful exploration of who and
what will survive in a warming world, and how falling in love and
building community can be the most daring acts of all.

'A cold, hungry adventure story about the power of choice and the
strength of solidarity' SEAN MICHAELS America, 2049: Summer
temperatures are intolerably high, the fossil fuel industry has
shut down, and humans are implanted with a 'Flick' at birth, which
allows them to remain perpetually online. The wealthy live in the
newly created Floating City off the coast, while people on the
mainland struggle to get by. For Rose, a job as a hostess in the
city's elite club feels like her best hope for a better future. At
a Cold War-era research station, a group of highly trained women
with the code name White Alice are engaged in climate surveillance.
But the terms of their employment become increasingly uncertain.
And in a former oil town in northern Canada called Dominion Lake, a
camp is being built-Camp Zero. A rare source of fresh, clean air
and cooler temperatures, it will be the beginning of a new
community and a new way of life. Grant believes it will be the
perfect place to atone for his family's dark legacy. Everyone has
an agenda. So who can you trust? Could falling in love be most the
radical act of all? Thrilling, immersive and disturbingly
prescient, Camp Zero is about the world we've built and where we go
from here.
