In the near future, countless species are going extinct annually, but efforts are underway to digitize their DNA and other biological data into global "biobanks," hoping for future resurrection. A mysterious worldwide cyberattack strikes these biobanks, raising urgent concerns. Karen Resaint, an animal cognition scientist grappling with humanity's destructive impact on nature, and Mark Halyard, a disillusioned corporate Environmental Impact Coordinator linked to the mining operation that destroyed the lumpsucker's habitat, must join forces. Their mission: to locate the venomous lumpsucker, the planet's most intelligent fish, through the dystopian landscapes of the 2030s. Their journey takes them through a toxic waste-filled nature reserve, a migrant labor camp afflicted by a fungal disease, a floating city on the Baltic Sea, and the perilous hinterlands of a totalitarian regime. As they traverse these environments, they delve deeper into the mystery surrounding the biobank cyberattack. Who orchestrated it, and what were their motives? This narrative is virtuosic, profound, and infused with a sense of despair, showcasing the best of Ned Beauman's writing.
