From the bestselling author of Child 44 a virtuosic highly-anticipated new novel about a
colony of global apocalypse survivors trying to reinvent civilisation under the most extreme
conditions imaginable. The world has fallen. Without warning a mysterious and omnipotent force
has claimed the planet for their own. There are no negotiations no demands no reasons given
for their actions. All they have is a message: humanity has thirty days to reach the one place
on Earth where they will be allowed to exist . . . Antarctica. Cold People follows the journeys
of a handful of those who endure the frantic exodus to the most inhospitable environment on the
planet. But their goal is not merely to survive the present. While they cling to life on the
ice the vestiges of their past swept away they must also confront the most urgent of
challenges: can they change and evolve rapidly enough to ensure humanity's future? Can they
build a new society in the cold? Original and imaginative as profoundly intimate as it is
grand in scope Cold People is a truly masterful epic.
