The Seed Vault - Paperback

by H. B. Viegas (Author)

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.

"It's easy to rule in times of plenty. But how do you decide who gets the last piece of bread?"

"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."
