Storm Girl

Linda Nicklin’s eco-thriller Storm Girl charts a dystopian near future. Planet earth has largely drowned under rising seas, disease is rife, society has broken down. Everything is now owned by the super-rich and exploited for their own personal gratification, including the people still struggling to live on what land remains… Angel, the Storm Girl of the title, has been harvested by a gang of Reapers and is frantic to escape what she knows to be a death sentence. Her only way out is through the treacherous waters of a drowned city. From depths of despair, she begins to find glimmers of hope, and becomes part of a growing resistance fighting back against the wholesale plundering of the planet. However, as the movement becomes stronger, Angel learns a devastating truth about herself. After all she has been through, she never anticipated needing to answer the question: whose side is she really on?
