What if the only hope for survival becomes the greatest threat
From the brilliant,bestselling author of Child 44 comes a suspenseful and fast-paced novel about a colony of global apocalypse survivors seeking 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 extreme environment on the planet. But their goal is not merely to survive the present. Because as they cling to life on the ice,the remnants of their past swept away,they must also confront the urgent challenge: can they change and evolve rapidly enough to ensure humanity's future Can they build a new society in the sub-zero cold
Original and imaginative,as profoundly intimate as it is grand in scope,Cold People is a masterful and unforgettable epic.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'The new novel by the author of Child 44 is a brilliantly conceived post-apocalyptic story that tackles a well-worn subject (a desperate race to save humanity) from a new and absolutely captivating angle. Smith's near-future world is wonderfully imaginative and rigorously detailed,the kind of made-up place that feels viscerally real. A real treat for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction.'- Booklist
