An immersive Scandi-noir sci-fi mystery set in a world where climate change has brought agriculture to collapse.

The year is 2131. Farming is dead. Hunger is rising. New Food offers humanity's only chance of survival.

On a group of Nordic islands ruled by an all-seeing AI, the daughter of a gifted food scientist goes missing. Axel Jóhannsson, a cynical Finder, is hired to track her down. But as he digs deeper, Axel uncovers a dark secret within the high-security walls of the Svalbard seed vault.

"A sweeping, ambitious and very timely dystopian novel. It is a frighteningly believable vision of the future and I was gripped from the very beginning."
