Publisher's Summary:
America, one century on: a warmer climate is causing vast movements of people. Droughts, floods and hurricanes force entire populations to simply abandon their homes. Tensions are mounting between North and South, and some Northern states are threatening to close their borders against homeless fellow Americans from the South.
Against this backdrop, an ambitious young British-born publicist, Holly Peacock, meets a new client, the charismatic Senator Slaymaker, a politician whose sole mission is to keep America together, reconfiguring the entire country in order to meet the challenge of the new climate realities as a single united nation.
When he runs for president, Holly becomes his right-hand woman, doing battle on the whisperstream, where stories are everything and truth counts for little. But can they bring America together - or have they set the country on a new but equally devastating path?

Plausible look into the future
I enjoyed this story a look at what would happen if we do nothing to control Global Warming. The lead character isn't a particularly likeable person and it's easy to see how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Well read by Tara Ward, but you may have sleepless nights if you're Canadian.
