Eliot Peper

Someone has hijacked the climate in this character-driven speculative thriller set in a near-future shaped by geoengineering. Veil grapples with the power and consequences of technology and what it means to find a renewed sense of agency in a world spinning out of control.

Veil

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.

Veil by Eliot Peper is a book I really can't recommend enough. Eliot does it again by looking into the near future and laying out what might happened due to various social/global issues that are relevant in today’s world. With his ability to research those relevant topics, expand on them to plausible future events and outcomes all while crafting other drama into the story always amazes me. Don’t get me wrong there is more to the story than just social events as friendships are tested, betrayal unfolds, and stubborn relationships rear their ugly heads. Everything centers around Zia and she must deal with them all along the way.

If you are looking for a great book then look no further as Eliot has produced another great page-turner after not long ago finishing his most recent sequels. For a longer review check out https://upnorth.blog/2020/05/veil-by-...
