Publisher's Synopsis
From floating cities in the Sea of Japan, a rescue team sails for the South.
Both Human and Synth, the team travels the Andean spine from quaking Cotopaxi to the storm-battered Patagonian fjords. The team saves thousands of climate refugees, victims of eruption, drought, fire, and flood.
Mount to mount, Old Sengai fades on the mission, his skin carved deep by aerie gusts and ashen rains, his bones embrittled by the long grinding climb.
But young Toshiro grows in wisdom and strength through the journey. He questions the Okono Twins - mission leaders, designers of the great floating cities, creators of the Synth. He questions his own origin and the future of Earth.
