"The Handmaid's Tale" meets climate change. Russell Peppers emerges from a curious labyrinth to find that the world has changed. He kayaks over underwater towns, past woods cut in two by new shorelines, and meets Mimi, owner of a Victorian that cruises the bay atop a barge. The survivor community of Skyline is beautiful, but the erratic weather and a drowned metropolis point to a species that fell prey to its own greed.

"CLIMIES makes for a captivating read. All of the advanced technology created
to accommodate itself to life post global warming was ingenious. Alice in
Wonderland (Al S), and a dystopian Willy Wonkaesque quality magnified
a trillion times via a post apocalyptic re-engineering of the remnants of a
galaxy, interspersed with a moving story line of a lost boy and the political dynamics
of the Climies vs. right wing Patriots, contributed towards a timely and novel approach
informed by the mayhem characteristics of a surreal era. Parts of the backstory are traumatic and yet Russell, the lead character, is perpetually cocooned in a comforting naiveté. The touches of whimsical talking cats and dogs and
musical blackberries add to a wistful, magical backdrop. And that warm presence
of Mimi's nurturance, the giddiness of young love, and the emergence of flawed
but substantive father figures equate to a mysterious yet oddly reassuring parallel universe we can access by merely closing our eyes and breathing deeply." -- Calder Lowe, Editor, DNA Ezine
