Disclaimer: I’ve never met the author Tim Cadman, but we are friends on Facebook.

The Changes: Refuge is the first book in a trilogy that revolves around climate changes, the title, The Changes, refers to that. When it begins, the world is further along that road than we are now. There are a few main characters that come into the story from different angles.

It’s a lively sci-fi, or cli-fi that moves along at a fairly brisk pace, shifting from character to character, from angle to angle, so we’re always seeing what is going on from different sides, from the ground, and up basically. The plot is an interesting one. I haven’t read many cli-fi novels, so maybe this isn’t unusual in that genre, but I haven’t at least seen this before.

It’s a pretty good post apocalyptic story, but very much a first in the series kind of thing, and I think I will have to read the rest of this series to see how it all turns out in the end.

I'm the author, so I don't really feel it's right for me to rate the book, but it has 4.5 stars on Amazon:
