Overview

When her mother dies in a heat wave that kills twenty million, Zia León abandons a promising diplomatic career to lead humanitarian aid missions to regions ravaged by drought, wildfires, and sea level rise. What Zia doesn't know is that clandestine forces are gathering around her in pursuit of a colossal secret: someone has hijacked the climate, and the future of human civilization is at stake. To avoid a world war that appears more inevitable every day, Zia must build a coalition of the powerless and attempt the impossible. But success depends on facing the grief that has come to define her life, and rediscovering friendship, family, and what it means to be true to yourself while everything falls apart.

With Veil, Eliot Peper reveals a brilliantly imagined eco-punk future filled with memorable characters locked in a life-or-death contest to control the direction of Earth's climate in the 21st century. -August Cole, author of Ghost Fleet and Burn-In Veil is about collapse, redemption, and heroes. As always, Peper's near-future science fiction will stick with you. -Seth Godin, bestselling author and entrepreneur I love Eliot Peper. He consistently makes step function leaps in imagination and this book is so crazy relevant and timely. -Brad Feld, managing director at Foundry Group Technologists are inventing the future-a future cut through with their own flaws and hubris as much as it is informed by their ingenuity. Veil imagines a world in which truth, politics, and nature itself are at the mercy of human engineering, for better and for worse. This is an adventure that will stick with you long after you reach the end. -Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist Eliot Peper weighs the promises-and perils-of geoengineering in this tautly paced thriller which, in its final chapters, offers an intriguing solution and that most welcome of messages: a glimmer of hope. -Meg Howrey, author of The Wanderers
