Red
a Novel by Jim Laughter
In the distant future, some say the near future, North America, Northern
Asia, and Europe will see millions of climate refugees from the southern
lands trekking northward, and the entire Lower 48 might be under threat
from the devastating impacts of "climate chaos" from the rising sea levels to
a scary scarcity of food, fuel, and shelter?. Polar City Red is the story of a
family seeking refuge in the frozen north, discovering a hidden city deep in
the old Alaska Territory; a city made up of outcasts, scientists, farmers,
militia, and a very special eccentric hunter. Polar City Red is set in an
imagined Alaska in the year 2075. But it could just as well be Tokyo or Oslo
or Berlin. Global warming is borderless, and so are our fears.
