Perfect for you if...

You want hard science fiction with real physics woven through an apocalyptic thriller, not handwaving or magic systems.
You loved Dan Brown's puzzle-box plotting but wish it had actual stakes beyond a museum heist.
You're drawn to near-future scenarios that feel terrifyingly plausible and leave you wondering what you'd do if society collapsed.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character-driven narratives where emotional arcs matter more than plot twists and discoveries.
You get frustrated with exposition-heavy dialogue that explains the science instead of showing it naturally.
You're looking for a standalone novel, not the first book in a trilogy.

About this book

Winter World is the first book in The Long Winter Trilogy. In the near future, a new ice age has begun and humanity faces extinction. Scientists send probes into the solar system to investigate readings, and near Mars they detect a mysterious object moving toward the Sun. They question whether it caused the ice age or could be humanity's salvation. NASA launches a mission to make contact with the object. However, the team discovers it is not what anyone expected. Alone in space, they make a discovery that will alter the course of human history—and possibly end it. The novel combines real science with fictional narrative. It was longlisted for the Wilbur Smith Award for best published novel.
