Hey guys, this board gave some fantastic feedback for my debut novel, Ruin.
My second novel, a climate-change sci-fi set in the near-future, is nearing completion, and I'd love to have some betas take a peek.
Our Fair Eden runs at around 80,000 words and is aimed at an adult audience, dealing with a macabre dystopia against a background of key environmental issues.
A little more in depth: "It’s 2087, and the Earth’s climate is in wild fluctuation. The Amazon Basin is a sun-baked graveyard, the Gobi is blossoming into tropical beauty, Europe is buried beneath icy tundra, and Manhattan is a swamp of the risen Atlantic. Old paradises are becoming new wasteland, old wasteland a new breed of paradise. Nowhere is safe. Millions flee the world’s cities. But where do they run to? The UN has an answer: the Eden Projects, colonies drawn from all nations, leading the charge in beginning anew, and developing new technologies to help start over. Desh can’t believe his luck when he wins the lottery to Eden Prime, most famous of all the Projects, hidden in the heart of Mongolia. But when he arrives in Eden, he finds himself caught in a struggle against a cruel autocracy, divided into gentry and peasants, all under the watchful eye of mysterious Texan matriarch, Mother Eden."

I'm looking for around half a dozen readers who feel they can provide some honest feedback in the next month or two. Anybody who helps out is entitled to a free copy on release day. I'd love to have you aboard!
