"America in the 22nd Century: a warmer climate is causing vast movements of people; droughts, floods and hurricanes have left a once-great nation in chaos. As tensions mount, an already divided country threatens to break apart... Against this backdrop, British-born publicist, Holly Peacock, meets the charismatic Senator Slaymaker - a politician who promises to unite America, no matter the cost. Holly becomes his right-hand woman, doing battle on the whisperstream, where stories are everything and truth counts for little. But can they bring the country together - or have they set it on a new, but equally devastating, path?"--Page 4 of cover.
