Across a frozen New England tundra, a young girl and her father scavenge under the snow-capped wastelands for black-market goods in order to save her dying brother.
But her own nanite wetware is failing, and soon, he’ll have to make a horrific choice...let her go insane and watch as she becomes a mindless killing machine...
Or kill her before she does...
In order to survive the flooding of the entire planet and the ensuing frozen Armageddon, humans inject a nanite network, called wetware, into their children at one years old. This wetware helps regulate internal body temperatures since temps outside regularly drop well over one-hundred-degrees below freezing.
Wetware is suspiciously monitored and controlled by the Coalition; a tight network of the first societies to emerge from the chaos of the end of the world, namely the Alpinists and Citizens—the most powerful Alpinist city being Lake Placid and most powerful Citizen city being Manhattan.
The human race hangs on the brink of excellence or extinction. Its five societies hang on the brink of war.
