Stormland

By: John Shirley

Narrated by: Keith Szarabajka

They call it Stormland: a sprawling, largely abandoned region of the southeastern coast of the USA, where climate change’s extreme weather conditions have brought about a “perfect storm” of perpetual tempests; where hurricane-strength storms return day after day, 365 days a year.

The heart of Stormland is Charleston, South Carolina, a flooded ruin where hundreds of people remain for their own peculiar reasons; where thugs prey on the weak, and a strangely benevolent cult tries to keep everyone insanely sane. Here, plutocratic evil takes advantage of Stormland’s lawlessness to cultivate a weirdly puppeted theater of cruelty.

Swept into the turbulent vortex of Stormland is an unlikely duo - a former serial killer and a former US Marshal - who must work together to bring light to America’s late 21st-century heart of darkness.

A cyberpunk detective thriller set in a maelstrom of climatic upheaval, classism, and corrupt power, Stormland paradoxically dramatizes the resilience of the human spirit.

Great story!

I loved this title! It has the perfect amount of suspense I needed to jear and not to overtly mushy as a love story either.
Highly recommend!

Good read!

The narrator is wonderful and the story is great. A nice mix of action and discourse.
