From the bestselling author of <i>Child 44</i>, a virtuosic, highly-anticipated new novel about a colony of global apocalypse survivors trying to reinvent civilisation under the most extreme conditions imaginable.<br>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.<br><br><i>Cold People</i> 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?<br><br>Original and imaginative, as profoundly intimate as it is grand in scope, <i>Cold People</i> is a truly masterful epic.<br> <br>
