What if our only hope of survival becomes our greatest threat?

From the brilliant, bestselling author of Child 44 comes a suspenseful and fast-paced novel about a colony of global apocalypse survivors seeking to reinvent civilisation under the most extreme conditions imaginable.

The world has fallen. Without warning, a mysterious and omnipotent force has claimed the planet for their own. There are no negotiations, no demands, no reasons given for their actions. All they have is a message: humanity has thirty days to reach the one place on Earth where they will be allowed to exist… Antarctica.

Cold People follows the journeys of a handful of those who endure the frantic exodus to the most extreme environment on the planet. But their goal is not merely to survive the present. Because as they cling to life on the ice, the remnants of their past swept away, they must also confront the urgent challenge: can they change and evolve rapidly enough to ensure humanity’s future? Can they build a new society in the sub-zero cold?

Original and imaginative, as profoundly intimate as it is grand in scope, Cold People is a masterful and unforgettable epic.

What a waste of time and money. It‘s as if the author is always looking to describe in an even more boring way, taking the last bit of possible excitement out of the most dramatic development. An aircraft carrier full of refugees sinks in the arctic “spilling thousands overboard into the icecold water, where they can’t survive” - so what, it happens, life goes on. People out of every corner of the world seek refuge in Antarctica with only 30 days time to arrive. Millions from different cultures with different languages form out of the blue a sober, friendly society. Everyone works together for the common good, no rules are needed, just love and understanding. No pain or grief for family and friends who didn’t make it.

What a train wreck of a novel
