Stormland (eBook)

They call it Stormland: a sprawling, largely abandoned region of the southeastern coast of the USA, where climate change's extreme weather conditions have brought about a "e;perfect storm"e; of perpetual tempests; where hurricane-strength storms return day after day, 365 days a year.The heart of Stormland is Charleston, South Carolina, a flooded ruin where hundreds of people remain for their own peculiar reasons; where thugs prey on the weak, and a strangely benevolent cult tries to keep everyone insanely sane. Here, plutocratic evil takes advantage of Stormland's lawlessness to cultivate a weirdly puppeted theater of cruelty.Swept into the turbulent vortex of Stormland is an unlikely duo-a former serial killer and a former US Marshal-who must work together to bring light to America's late twenty-first century heart of darkness.A cyberpunk detective thriller set in a maelstrom of climatic upheaval, classism, and corrupt power, Stormland paradoxically dramatizes the resilience of the human spirit.
