Description

Climate catastrophe leaves the people of Earth fighting for oxygen in this gripping dystopian thriller from bestselling sci-fi author Alastair Chisholm.

Reek plunges readers into a world after the Reek, where the atmosphere is toxically polluted. Axel Brodie, the tech billionaire behind Zephyr Industries, is profiting as the sole supplier of clean air. In this harsh reality, Sparrow strives to help her family survive.

Hope appears when Sparrow's brilliant inventor friend, Miriam Fenn, develops a groundbreaking technology that could shatter Zephyr’s control over the air supply. However, facing off against powerful men like Brodie is no easy feat, and he will stop at nothing to thwart their plans. This thrilling battle for breath and freedom is one that Sparrow and Miriam must face head-on. Who will triumph in this battle to breathe?
