Description
In 2030, a grieving archaeologist arrives beyond the Arctic Circle to continue the work of his recently deceased daughter in the Batagajka crater. Scientists in the melting permafrost study long-buried secrets – including the mummified remains of a girl whose death was apparently caused by an unknown pathogen. The ensuing epidemic of 'Arctic plague' will change the lives of entire generations, spreading rapidly around the world and forcing humanity to rethink how to survive. A cynical employee at an amusement park for terminally ill children falls in love with one of the mothers. A devastated scientist struggles to develop an effective cure and discovers that one of the test animals can speak human language. A widowed painter embarks on a space expedition with her teenage granddaughter in search of a new home... All of them invite readers on a journey across continents, centuries, and celestial bodies, telling a story of the resilience of the human spirit, our unyielding ability to dream, and the relationships that connect us all.
