Blackfish City

After the climate wars, a floating city was constructed in the Arctic Circle. Once a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering it is now rife with corruption and the population simmers with unrest. 

Into this turmoil comes a strange new visitor - a woman accompanied by an orca and a chained polar bear. She disappears into the crowds looking for someone she lost 30 years ago, followed by whispers of a vanished people who could bond with animals. Her arrival draws together four people and sparks a chain of events that will change Blackfish City forever.

Disturbing, powerful and fearlessly imagines, Blackfish City is a mesmerising novel from a remarkable new voice in science-fiction.

Good ideas

Good ideas here and good stories but in a he end felt a bit unfinished as if the author became tired of it
