OUT NOW
‘Tempest Roams in the Pathless Sky’ is a science-fiction novel by author Graeme S. Houston.
Set thousands of years in the future, it is an explosive mix of action, environmental science, speculation, and intrigue.
In the midst of environmental catastrophy, human civilisation continues, but is a shadow of its former self. All humanity has left are stories of the past and a myriad of strange relics that linger on from the age of technology. Long ago, they say, global warming led to thousands of tons of fresh water being pumped into the oceans, (glacial melting and fresh water off continents) disturbing the salinity and as a result disrupting their natural currents (which exchange heat from the equator to the north and south). This led to increased cooling of the north and south hemispheres. By a subtle twist of irony, global warming led not to death by fire, but by ice. As more ice gathered at the poles, huge glaciers advanced forward, crusshing the great cities beneath them. All humanity could do was retreat. Billions of souls died in the displacement wars.
Follow the story of Aadesh, an orphan who is sent by the priests of Old Kuala Lum, on a journey to deliver a message to New London. Captain Philip Daemidrien, is chartered to take the boy by airship, but everything goes wrong right from the onset. Attacked by mechanical creatures from a long dead past, the captain must use every ounce of cunning he has to outmaneuver the terrors. But not only does the captain harbor secrets of his own, Aadesh will find that he is in far more trouble than he ever could have imagined. His only hope may be Philip and a genetically enhanced assassin called Elizabeth. They find that even Earth is at stake, and ice is the least of their worries….
