This is a Christian Sci-Fy read dealing with Science, Climate Change and living in a new world. I am not a fan of this type of read, but was willing to give it a try. I just couldn't get into this book as I am not really interested in the subject or matter of what the author is writing about. I really wanted to enjoy this book, however after a few attempts to read it, I didn't have any interest in the subject. I am sure if the reader likes Sci-fy and into the science world then this would be a good read for them. The book is not bad, it was not a relaxing or enjoying read for me. I like to read to relax and enjoy, so when a book is not of interest to me, I just can't force myself to read it. Also, in today's world the books I am reading is to take me away from the media, politics and issues of daily life. I felt this book deals with all the media issues of today's world and just stressed me out.

More from Michael
Silent Altitudes is a Cli-fi (Climate Fiction) thriller set in the near future. I wanted to avoid the current political debates over global warming, so I went with the assumption that the world eventually comes to consensus about what to do. The United Nations rolls out an elaborate technological solution, but sabotage and conspiracy lead to disaster on startup day. That’s the type of angle I enjoy writing. Climate change is the backdrop, but this book is about family and survival and fighting against the greed and corruption that have laid good intentions to ruin. It’s about loss and hope and trusting that God is still in control even when everything seems hopeless.
A significant inspiration for this book was a phrase my daughter would say when she was little: “Hold you Mommy.” It meant she wanted a hug. I contacted Laura, a pottery artist on Etsy, and ordered a custom mug with that phrase as a Christmas present for my wife. Laura was a joy to work with, and our conversation led to me developing characters and themes that provided the heart of my story. I find it’s those little inspirations that make the biggest difference in my writing.
