Blackfish City: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

“Miller provides us an incisive and beautifully written tale of love, revenge, and the energy (and failure) of family members in a scarily plausible long term. Blackfish Town simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and wonder. Plus, they have lots of actions and an excellent cast of characters. Not to mention an orca and a polar bear!” -Ann Leckie, NY Times bestselling author and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Clarke Awards

Following the climate wars, a floating city is constructed in the Arctic about Blackfish City: A Book Circle, a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering, filled with geothermal heating and sustainable energy. The city’s denizens have grown to be familiar with a roughshod fresh way of living, however, the city is starting to fray along the edges-crime and corruption have set in, the contradictions of amazing prosperity alongside direst poverty are spawning unrest, and a new disease called “the breaks” is certainly ravaging the populace.

Whenever a strange new visitor arrives-a woman riding an orca, using a polar tolerate at her side-the city is entranced. The “orcamancer,” as she’s known, very subtly brings together four people-each living for the periphery-to stage unprecedented acts of resistance. By banding together to save lots of their town before it crumbles beneath the pounds of its own decay, they’ll learn surprising truths about themselves.

Blackfish Town is a remarkably urgent-and ultimately very hopeful-novel about political corruption, organized crime, technology run amok, the results of climate transformation, gender identity, as well as the unifying power of human being connection.
