In this novel, an alien invasion forces humans to migrate south to the most inhospitable landscape on earth, Antarctica. The day-to-day survival in these new frigid colonies is tenuous at best and the future of all humanity is questionable. Genetic advancements are desperately needed, a hastened evolution is the only way for the next generation to flourish on such a cold and barren landscape. Are these survivors up to the mounting challenges of human nature, science, and climate?
I really enjoyed this novel’s unique and creative premise. If you are a fan of science fiction, this book is definitely made for you. Different aspects of this story brought up so many questions for me and I believe it would make a great group read for discussion.
I’d like to thank NetGalley for an advanced copy of Cold People for my unbiased evaluation. 4 stars
