By the time Phil Run after is elected leader, the world's local climate is far on its way to irreversible change. Food scarcity, housing shortages, diminishing medical care, and vanishing types are just some of the consequences. The erratic winter the Washington, D.C., area is experiencing is another grim reminder of a worldwide weather pattern eliminated haywire: bone-chilling frosty 1 day, balmy weather another.But the president-elect remains optimistic and doesn't intend to give up without a struggle. A maverick in every sense of the word, Chase starts arranging the most ambitious plan to save the planet from catastrophe since FDR—and assembling a team of top scientists and advisers to put into practice it.For Charlie Quibler, this implies re-entering the politics fray full-time and quitting full-time good care of his young kid, Joe. For Frank Vanderwal, hampered with a brain injury, it means trying to safeguard the girl he enjoys from a vengeful ex girlfriend or boyfriend and a rogue "black ops" agency not even the leader can control—a task for which neither Frank's work at the National Research Base nor his research of Tibetan Buddhism can prepare him.In a global where time is working out as quickly as its natural resources, where surveillance is almost total and flexibility nearly nonexistent, the forecast for the Run after administration looks darker each passing day. For as the last—and most bad—of natural disasters looms on the horizon, it will require a miracle to stop the clock … the kind of magic that only dedicated men and women can bring about.BONUS Audio tracks: Includes a special introduction by author Kim Stanley Robinson.
