In 2557, 15-year-old Cooper Calloway lives 75 miles underground in a sealed plastic habitat because metal clings to his irradiated skin. Every heartbeat steals momentum from the planet, shortening the days and setting continents on fire. When classified data leaks, crowds demand his exile... or death. His father, President of the United Countries of America, must decide in public whether one boy is worth billions.
Aaron Ryan's As The World Burns cuts between Cooper under an artificial sky and Xandrius in the Oval Office, where a leaked file exposes the son the nation was told died in the Chasm incident. Days are already 13 minutes shorter. Coastal cities drown as oceans slide toward the equator. Outside the gates, signs read Save the Planet, Axe the Boy.
Cooper's models give him until age 19, and the countdown is already running when you open chapter one!
It is a lean, emotionally-direct Christian dystopia: an android guard named Valente, a girl who whispers Cooper's name across a lava gulf, a first love written clean. In the end, what will one father give out of love?
Fans of Away by Megan E. Freeman and The Choosing by Rachelle Dekker will devour this book!
