ONE LINER: Isolated on an oil platform in a post-apocalyptic future, fear and hunger will push the limits of what it means to be human.
Book Description:
The continents are plagued by poison and fire. And so, on the deep-water oil platform, the Alpine, one of the last remnants of mankind must find a way to survive. Beatrice Plantain, an experienced security official, intends to go about her day and monitor the food rations, but other people on the platform - a grizzled roughneck, a spiritual leader, a feared administrator, a washed up elder, a young hunter and a simple chum-maker - have other plans, as does an explosion that spoils the platform’s food supplies. Facing starvation, the Alpine’s occupants turn against each other. Violent skirmishes lead to the death of a young boy. Who killed the child? And what became of the boy's missing twin? With the Alpine tearing itself apart, Beatrice must uncover who killed the boy. Her investigation will force her to confront the Alpine's terrible past, and what that means for the Alpine's future.
