From Amazon
London, 2022. The heat is rising and things are reaching boiling point. As the world struggles to catch up to its new climate, nineteen-year-old Luke Spargo believes he's the only one who understands what's really happening to the sun and if he's right, he's the only one who can stop it.
But Luke's childhood demons are closing in. With the arrival of vibrant, turbulent Fee, the precarious balance of Luke's life shifts irrevocably; as the endless heatwave presses in and his secrets begin to spiral out of control, Luke must confront the terrible price of protecting them.
My thoughts
I gave this debut novel a 3 stars or 6/10.
I really enjoy dystopian themed books, this sure fit the bill in that respect. Set in the not too distant future, the world is warming up dramatically. The heat from the Sun is increasing and the one thing on everyone's mind is when or where will it all end? As we all know Global Warming is a real issue for the World and could have devastating consequences on our existence as we know it.
Luke Spargo is a young 19 year old, who has a theory as to what might be happening to cause this and he thinks that he will be the only person to stop this. How will Luke cope with this knowledge and will he be able to save the World?
This was a great premise for a debut novel and I will be looking forward to more stories from this Author. One minor criticism that spoilt my enjoyment of the story was that it could have done with slightly better proof reading prior to publishing, I didn't feel that it flowed quite as well as it could have done.
