Bestselling, award-winning, author Kim Stanley Robinson continues his groundbreaking trilogy of eco-thrillers–and propels us deeper into the awesome whirlwind of climatic change. Set in our nation’s capital, here is a chillingly realistic tale of people caught in the collision of science, technology, and the consequences of global warming–which could trigger another phenomenon: abrupt climate change.

"Fifty Degrees Below should be required reading for anyone concerned about our world's future.... it provides perhaps the most realistic portrayal ever created of the environmental changes that are already occurring on our planet."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Fast-paced and exciting.... First-rate ecological speculation."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Could give Michael Crichton a run for his money.... should be required reading for government officials and voters."
--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
