<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>We talk about the tyranny of distance a lot in this country. That distance will not save us. THE STONE WĒTĀ is a climate thriller by one of New Zealand's most exciting new science fiction writers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>We talk about the tyranny of distance a lot in this country.</strong> <strong>That distance will not save us.</strong></p><p>With governments denying climate science, scientists from affected countries and organisations are forced to traffic data to ensure the preservation of research that could in turn preserve the world. From Antarctica, to the Chihuahuan Desert, to the International Space Station, a fragile network forms. A web of knowledge. Secret. But not secret enough.</p><p>When the cold war of data preservation turns bloody - and then explosive - an underground network of scientists, all working in isolation, must decide how much they are willing to risk for the truth. For themselves, their colleagues, and their future.</p><p>Murder on Antarctic ice. A university lecturer's car, found abandoned on a desert road. And the first crewed mission to colonise Mars, remote and vulnerable in the depths of space.</p><p>How far would you go to save the world?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In the worlds of <em>The Stone Weta</em>, climate science - and women climate scientists - are being erased. They resist in ways that reflect the creatures they embody: some by concealment, some by communication, others by more direct methods. <strong>Octavia Cade weaves a gripping narrative</strong> in which, as tension builds beneath a seemingly calm surface, these very different women take greater and greater risks to keep truth alive when power wants it - and them - dead." --Tim Jones, author of <em>When We Land</em></p><p> </p><p>"A deep, thoughtful, and thrilling science fiction novel set in what feels like a not too distant future. <em>The Stone Wētā</em> feels like <strong>an important and urgent read in today's world</strong>. It is also a compelling and intricately crafted piece of science fiction." --Maria Haskins, https: //mariahaskins.com/2020/03/06/book-review-the-stone-weta-by-octavia-cade/</p><br>
