The brutally engineered class divisions of Snowpiercer meets Rivers Solomon’s The Deep in this high-octane post-climate disaster novella written by Nommo Award-winning author Suyi Davies Okungbowa


Off the coast of West Africa, decades after the dangerous rise of the Atlantic Ocean, the region’s survivors live inside five partially submerged, kilometers-high towers originally created as a playground for the wealthy. Now the towers’ most affluent rule from their lofty perch at the top while the rest are crammed into the dark, fetid floors below sea level.

There are also those who were left for dead in the Atlantic, only to be reawakened by an ancient power, and who seek vengeance on those who offered them up to the waves.

Three lives within the towers are pulled to the fore of this conflict: Yekini, an earnest, mid-level rookie analyst; Tuoyo, an undersea mechanic mourning a tremendous loss; and Ngozi, an egotistical bureaucrat from the highest levels of governance. They will need to work together if there is to be any hope of a future that is worth living—for everyone.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Thinking Face“I need more time to sit with this before I can land on a rating I think. I really loved the opening to the book and the setting was terrific. I really liked the characters too and appreciated how they each had their own motivations, unique to themselves, that had steered them all in similar directions. I think some phrasings of some things maybe lost me somewhere or maybe I lost focus on a few pages and didn’t realize it until the end but I don’t know that I fully get the end of the story. It’s left a little up to you to fill in some of what was going to happen after the last page which is sometimes fun, but I don’t think I really know what I think will happen.”
