The Changes: Refuge

by Tim Cadman

Climate change is escalating rapidly. Charles Peters, a low-level nobody in what’s left of the UN, is sent on an unexplained mission to save humanity. Madé, an Indonesian child refugee, must endure the powerlessness of ‘people-processing’ in an era of displacement and disease. Marie-Claude Bertillon must take responsibility for the lives of these, and many millions more, as she seeks to implement a radical solution. All are victims of the terrible choices made in the historical past – today. The first book in a series of personal histories, this startling story plays out the shocking reality of what the world will be like for the people of tomorrow if we fail to take action now.

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:
