Story
One thousand years in the future, the zyme, a thick blanket of luminous green slime, covers the oceans. Glaciers three-miles-high rise over the continents. The old stories say that when the Jemen, godlike beings from the past, realized their efforts to halt global warming had gone terribly wrong, they made a desperate gamble to save life on earth and recreated species that had survived the worst of the earth's Ice Ages. Sixteen-summers-old Lynx and his best friend Quiller are members of the Sealion People - archaic humans known as Denisovans.

Story
Dr. Timothy Ryan, head of the military psychiatric unit at Grantham Barracks, is meeting a new patient, a woman known as Prisoner Alpha. As she is being transferred, they are attacked by assassins, barely escaping with their lives. One shooter vanishes, leaving behind a dead companion unlike anyone Ryan has ever seen. But even more baffling is the puzzle of Alpha herself. She speaks in a strange tongue, and doodles in bars, dots, and little pictures like nothing Ryan has ever seen. Is she some sort of savant, or the most cunning spy he's ever met?

The glaciers of the Sierra Nevada are melting, destroying the habitat of the mastodons, creating the rich land that will become California. The coastal people struggle to understand the changing world around them: their seer Sunchaser has lost his way to the Spirit World and mammoths continue to disappear. When a beautiful woman arrives, fleeing from her abusive husband, the people know what they must do - for if the Spirits are already taking the animals away, what will happen if they shelter a stranger?

Publisher's Summary
Award-winning archaeologists and New York Times and USA Today best-selling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear bring us a gripping disaster thriller.
The seas flood their banks. Storms devastate entire continents. Fires envelop the world in darkness. The collapse begins...
Anthropologist Anika French makes an explosive discovery: Due to climate change, our world is threatened with collapse in just a few years, and humanity will perish. Anika’s committee chair published her work under his own name, now powerful people will do anything to obtain Anika’s statistical program for their own use.
With murder, kidnapping, extortion, and assassination on every side, Dr. Maureen Cole, a team of specialists, and bodyguard Skip Murphy will do everything in their power to keep Anika safe as they struggle with the implications of Anika’s work. For once the “fracture event” occurs, Anika’s model predicts the end of the world - and dark powers are already testing the model with devastating results.
Ultimately, it will be up to Skip, Maureen, and Anika as a deadly showdown in the Alps will determine who will profit from the destruction of civilization.

Fracture Event
by Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear
Audio book read by Francis G. Kearney.
The audio book brings the reader full into the story, Kearney's voice adds depth to the mystery. As he speaks of the motor cycles and the cars brings the awe of appreciation of the vehicles, He's voice adds to the the characters awe of the calculations of Anika's accomplished calculations. Stressing the key factors and the importance of the model and making it more important.
I have been waiting of this to come out since I first heard about extended stories of Maureen and Dusty. It was sad that until now it was only in German. Hopefully the publication of this will allow us to see the prior story with these two beloved characters.
First off this book is fast paced and had more shooting, and stunts than a modern Marvel flick. Okay that was a joke, but it is an espionage novel at its heart. The idea of Collapse theory in Archeology and Anthropology is not a new concept, this books brings a what if, to this line of thinking. If we could use the predictions, and scattered evidence of the collapse of nations to predict the future, could we put it to good use? Many people are realizing in this post-Covid modern world that societies are more interconnected than ever before. Would you be able to save a collapsing nation if you know the triggers? This novel shows the unfortunate human nature to this idea, information is not always used for the best purposes. Come and enjoy the ride with this fast paced, action story, with an anthropological bases. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Michael and Kathleen for reminding us not only that the world is interconnected but that we are all vulnerable to something even if we don't know about it.
