Summary
'A page-turning feminist mystery thriller' Observer
'Distinctive and involving' Daily Mail
'Surprising and satisfying' Guardian
Rose wants a better life for herself and her mother. Taking a job as a hostess in the Floating City's elite club feels like her best hope.
It means she has a steady pay cheque, that she can stay cool as the temperatures hit new highs and when storms devastate the mainland, she is safe.
And when the eccentric creator of the Flick, the universally enjoyed digital implant which allows everyone to remain perpetually online, asks for her to spy on a secretive northern building project in return for her mother's residency, Rose agrees.
But she is unprepared for the brutality of Camp Zero. And when it becomes clear that she is not the only person with an agenda, solidarity becomes as precious as fresh air.
Critic reviews
"A cold, hungry adventure story about the power of choice and the strength of solidarity." (Sean Michaels)
"Camp Zero is a sui generis novel, boldly imagined, intricately designed, and convincingly detailed. Though set in the near future, it resonates with a palpable sense of reality and with the deep insights into some dimensions of the human condition, such as migrations, the burden of the past, environmental destruction, gender inequality, self-recreation. Page by page, the prose shines with subtle verbal artistry. This is a groundbreaking literary work." (Ha Jin)
"In an equally tantalizing and terrifying tour de force, Michelle Min Sterling boldly remixes the realities of our present world, the danger we are in, and the fates we have settled for through a mesmerizing story of loyalty, deception, and ultimately love. Camp Zero's dark twists and bright turns left me breathless, hopeful, furious, and emboldened until the very end (Nancy Jooyoun Kim, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Story of Mina Lee)

A realistic play forward
Take todays world, it’s inequalities and climate challenge, and some historical aspects of human behaviour and roll forward to paint a realistic potential future rather than a more dystopian backdrop. I liked this non sensationalist view of the world and intertwining stories of people living in it….. of course the stories of the central characters are not typical to ensure an entertaining tale. (And. It everything completely believable)
Well narrated, interesting and enjoyable.
