BookPal × TalezoScorched Earth
When a relentless solar crisis dooms Earth, who gets a ticket to the stars? A tense, near-future apocalyptic sci-fi exploring global triage, climate disaster, and a desperate race against time to build humanity's final arks.
The world won’t cool. Who gets saved?
Years after the Mindslip, Earth is running a fever that won’t break. Satellites fail, coasts empty, and borders harden as heat records fall week after week. Scientist Beth Arnold wants one thing: keep her family safe while the world chooses a future that won’t kill it.
Governments and space agencies sketch four imperfect plans. Dig refuges under Antarctica. Expand a moon base. Throw vast resources at stopgap fixes that buy a few scorched years. Or commit to the audacious build of a starship that could carry a fragment of humanity to another sun.
Each path saves some and abandons others. Each demands decisions about who counts. As supplies tighten and protests flare, Beth is pulled into the brutal arithmetic of triage, where every meeting means winners and ghosts.
The countdown is real; the choice will define a species.
Scorched Earth, book two of the Mindslip Universe, is a mind-bending, thought-provoking leap from identity shock to planetary triage and a starship bid for tomorrow. Perfect for readers who love unique, original concepts that linger long after the last page.
Publisher’s note: Scorched Earth was previously published as HEAT.
