"""This compulsively readable and beautifully written novel has everything: a thrilling mystery, a sweeping family drama, and a profound look at human nature in the face of the most pressing threat of our time. Simply put, this is one terrific book.""--David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager ""A haunting story about an all-too-possible future. It's a page-turner that's also a wake-up call.""--Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction ""We're only just beginning to imagine the strange new world being brought into being by climate change--and what we may do in scrambling to adapt. Vivid and lyrical, imaginatively conceived and brilliantly plotted, Burning Sky sets a new standard for climate fiction. Vital.""--David Wallace-Wells, New York Times bestselling author of The Uninhabitable Earth ""A riveting dystopian thrill ride. Burning Sky is not just a smart, speedy, scary novel, it's a profound warning about what can happen when science goes wrong. It's also a call to arms: We're going to have to pay rigorous attention and make real sacrifices--starting now--if we want our children to enjoy blue skies and green pastures. The stakes are only . . . life as we know it.""--Joseph Klein, author of Primary Colors and Charlie Mike ""A major achievement--a future-facing tale about the future we all, on this planet, must face. John Darnton manages to yoke ancient and recent history to the fast-approaching horrors of climate catastrophe. He gives us a family story, a multi-generational saga of science and scientists run amok, as well as those brave few who rise up in opposition. This novel is itself a rainbow stretched across the sky.""--Nicholas Delbanco, author of Why Writing Matters"
