Overview

Bloom & Decay (Book 1 in a bold new environmental novel series.) A Climate Fiction Biotech Disaster Thriller The world was supposed to be saved. Instead, it's suffocating. When a biotech experiment designed to restore the planet spirals into catastrophe, oxygen levels plummet, and entire cities become oxygen deserts. Dr. Lillian Kessler-once celebrated as a pioneer of climate science fiction- now races against time to stop the very creation she unleashed. As governments collapse and corporations cover their tracks, rogue activist Zane Ortega uncovers the truth: EcoForge, the company behind the crisis, knew the risks and gambled with the fate of humanity anyway. With the planet gasping for air, Lillian and Zane must forge an uneasy alliance to stop the spread of Oxyflora-a genetically engineered nightmare consuming Earth's last breathable reserves. Their only hope lies in a radical counteragent, but its deployment will require the ultimate sacrifice. A gripping mix of climate change fiction, biotech disaster fiction, and speculative climate fiction, The Last Breath delivers a relentless, high-stakes thriller packed with betrayal, survival, and redemption. Time is running out. The Earth won't get a second chance. Perfect for fans of The Ministry for the Future, The Road, and Jurassic Park.

Reviews

Early Reader Reviews for Bloom & Decay ""Terrifyingly plausible and utterly gripping."" ""This book felt too real. The way Oxyflora spreads, the corporate cover-ups, the fight for survival-it's exactly the kind of disaster we're already on the brink of. The pacing is relentless, and the tension never lets up. Lillian's arc from blind ambition to sacrifice hit me hard."" - Michael R., Seattle, WA A cinematic eco-thriller that kept me breathless."" ""The moment Lillian steps into the Oxyflora core zone, I was holding my breath like I was there. The atmosphere, the urgency-it's terrifying and beautiful all at once. This is what climate fiction should be: immersive, high-stakes, and emotionally devastating."" - Samantha T., Denver, CO This book wrecked me in the best way possible."" ""The idea of oxygen becoming a rare commodity? Chilling. But what got me the most was Zane and Lillian-two people who shouldn't trust each other, forced to fight for the same cause. The corporate greed, the scientific arrogance, the collapse of everything we take for granted-it's haunting. And that ending? I'm still recovering."" - Daniel M., Austin, TX ""A heart-pounding survival story with a message that lingers."" ""I couldn't stop thinking about this book for days. The imagery of abandoned cities, riots over oxygen, and the Earth literally gasping for breath was terrifying. But the resilience-the fight to fix what was broken-left me hopeful. The final scene? Chills."" - Aisha K., London, UK ""Like Jurassic Park, but with plants-and much scarier."" ""Biotech disaster fiction at its finest. EcoForge reminded me of every real-world corporation that ignores red flags for profit, and watching their empire crumble was deeply satisfying. But what haunted me most was Lillian-her guilt, her desperation, and her ultimate choice. If this isn't made into a movie, it'll be a crime."" - Ryan S., Los Angeles, CA
