My Thoughts on Silent Altitudes

First, I have never heard of climate fiction before. Totally new genre and idea for me. But really this book is suspense pure and simple. It’s going to keep you in suspense and if you like suspense you won’t be able to put it down.

This is an author who is new to me. I think he did a great job creating the story and the characters. The plot was one I personally would never have thought of. Scientists are looking out for the greater good. They are creating something that will help the world but then evil overtakes it and they must race to save what they’ve worked for.

Great story of good vs evil but also just wonderful suspense as well. Well-developed plot and characters who will keep you reading until the end.

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 a 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 trust 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.
