Ark Lands. No one was entirely sure when it happened - the end of life as we knew it - but it began a lifetime earlier. For decades it was a topic of heated debate and political conflict. On one side, scientists presented hard data and called for immediate action; on the other, vested interests denied its reality and called for restraint. As so the developed world fell prey to the tragedy of the horizon, and, as a result, too little was done too late. Then - it actually happened, and it did so faster than anyone feared.
Global warming reached a tipping point, and, with little warning, ocean currents shifted and produced catastrophic changes in climate. The cascading effects of those changes turned once fertile lands into deserts in less than a decade, and only then did the denial of the problem stop. Humanity fell into despair with the realization that it wasn't just an aberration in climate - the changes were here to stay.
The environmental calamity caused economic collapse and threw humanity into chaos. Billions perished through hunger, unchecked pandemics, and warfare. Third-world nations were hit hardest, but the superpowers were not spared—they tore themselves apart with social unrest and civil wars.
Yet, in the midst of the collapse, voices of hope and sanity rose from teh middle powers. The most northern regions of the planet escaped the worst of the drying and became the breadbaskets for the world. It was also there that, in a rare act of wisdom, large preserves were set aside to safeguard the flora and fauna of the world's major biomes. These living repositories - the Biome Arks - were created in the hope that someday the drying could be reversed and the Earth could be revitalized.
Trinity One is the first book in the series the tells the story of people trying to survive the harsh new realities of a dying world—and those determined to discover a way to reverse the catastrophe and give humanity a future.
