Description
Next Generation Indie Book Award Finalist
Rainwalkers is a story set in the not-so-distant future in a crumbling version of John Steinbeck’s Salinas Valley, after the breakup of the United States. A once rich and prosperous agricultural land is now a war-torn nation-state known only as The Valley. To combat chronic droughts, scientists seed clouds with genetically engineered bacteria that create regular rains but unintentionally make the rains lethal to humans. Anyone caught in the rain dies within seconds, yet there are rumors of people who survive...known as rainwalkers.
In a profoundly disquieting, near-future world, this novel explores controversial border walls, a tyrannical government, and man’s attempts to dominate nature.
Rainwalkers is an unforgettable story of a father’s undying love and his struggle to rescue his daughter in a precarious future world that could become our own.
"A terrific novel of climate change and genetic engineering; a first-rate cautionary read set against the backdrop of an all-too-probable future." (Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids)
