✦ Synopsis

After catastrophic global warming melts the ice caps, humans desperate for land colonize a de-iced Antarctica. Once-homesteader John Barrous, thrust into the presidency of this fledgling nation, must navigate his way through political landmines to create an environmentally balanced society. When a university expedition, including John's daughter and his former lover, Lowry Walker, is abducted by a charismatic cult leader, John races to save them--but intrigue reigns as the ensuing turmoil of the rescue exposes a traitor in his inner circle.

Listen to the Birds is the final novel of The Melt Trilogy, weaving a complex tale of treachery and questioning who we are as humans and our relation to the Earth.

Reviews:

"Lanning's prose perfectly summons her winter utopia--Currier & Ives filtered through Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke . . . The plot unfurls slowly but deliberatively, and though it at times feels more like a Western than a sci-fi novel, readers will always be along for the ride. Like the best eco-fiction, Lanning's tale will get the audience thinking seriously about the effect every human endeavor has on the ecosystem without sacrificing characters and story. An imaginative, environmentally minded work of sci-fi." - Kirkus Reviews

"With the same adept approach she displayed with her two previous novels, KE Lanning gives us an enjoyable science fiction story in Listen to the Birds. . . . There is action, intensity, and enough character-driven development to lend this book series to cinematic directions." JD DeHart, Literacy Work and Play

"Listen to the Birds has politics, crime/intrigue, romance, and interesting descriptions of how people can adapt to a somewhat warmer (but still cold) Antarctica with technology that enables roadless transportation, growing crops and raising animals . . . a feature-laden and well-written book." John Maberry, Views from Eagle Peak Press
