Under the Bubble
Two scientists. One dying planet. A secret that could change the future of humanity.
In a war-torn future America ravaged by climate catastrophe, corrupt government control, and endless conflict, scientists Peggy and Nora are expected to help build the next generation of soldier-drones. Their company wants weapons. The government wants obedience. The world wants someone to blame.
But Peggy and Nora have seen another possibility.
After receiving a mysterious vision from alien beings, they reject the military project they were ordered to complete and begin working toward something far more a new future for Earth.
Then the war in space comes crashing down.
As attacks devastate the planet and most of humanity is wiped out, Peggy and Nora are left to survive in a brutal post-apocalyptic world of extreme weather, hunger, violence, and ruin.
Each day becomes a fight for food, shelter, and hope. Each attempt to rebuild is threatened by storms, scarcity, and enemies who would rather preserve power than save what remains.
While scavenging for supplies, the two women uncover hidden documents revealing the truth behind Earth's collapse. The catastrophe was not simply caused by nature. The history they were taught was a lie. And the alien message that once seemed like salvation may hold a purpose neither of them fully understands.
Now Peggy and Nora must decide what kind of humanity deserves to survive-and what kind of human can live in the world that comes next.
Perfect for readers who love dystopian science fiction, climate fiction, alien contact, post-apocalyptic survival stories, corrupt government conspiracies, and character-driven speculative fiction, this gripping novel explores love, resilience, truth, and survival at the edge of extinction.
When the old world is gone, saving humanity may mean becoming something entirely new.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Intriguing cli-fi adventure. It focuses on the friendship between two women, both scientists. They bond over a plot to end the "supersoldier" research they are working on, moving to creating a new kind of human who can survive climate change. Living in a time of all-out war of all against all where corporations have more control than governments. Their work becomes harder and harder as destruction rains down upon them.
The characters seem real, with great detail and dialog. The setting of a not-so-distant future highlights many contemporary fears. It spooked me with its realism. Overall, very well-done.

I could not put this book down
Under the Bubble captivated me from the first chapter, blending description and action into a future that is both fantastical and completely plausible. I highly recommend this book
