Produktbeschreibung
When the world floods and freedom drowns, resistance rises from the most unlikely rebels. In a near-future America ruled by the authoritarian Eagle Party, schools are privatized, the press is silenced, and even libraries have been shuttered. The internet is no longer open--only controlled, censored, and constantly watched. As the nation crumbles under surveillance, environmental collapse, and social decay, a catastrophic storm breaches Lake Michigan's shoreline, turning Wisconsin into a fractured refuge for climate migrants. But amid the chaos, one group refuses to surrender. A band of sharp-witted, sixty-something Wisconsinites--calling themselves the Oldsters--begin quietly resisting the regime. Armed with courage, memory, and defiant humor, they spread knowledge the government wants buried and spark a movement that could reignite free thought in the most controlled corners of the country. Cold Thunder is a riveting tale of resilience, rebellion, and gray-haired grit--where the fight for truth is waged not with weapons, but with wisdom.
