In the Cold Light of Tomorrow
Speculative fiction/Science Fiction/Fantasy
The epic fantasy In the Cold Light of Tomorrow by K. A. McDicken doubles as a unique study of people, societies, evolution, and crime.
The near collision of a comet with the Earth results in the birth of mutations, both human and animal.
Not all mutants in fiction have to be comic strip superheroes.
Dwelling in the remains of an astronomical complex, the older generation envies Bradley, Joel, Caroline, and twins Betty and Bertha whose brain functions increase in capacity as they mature, but the mutants must keep the full scope of their powers secret, as one of their abilities proves to be potentially lethal.
The way Bradley and friends handle their additional powers, is what makes this book so compelling.
There are confrontational issues raised that may cause the reader to be angry, sad or scared but no one will remain unmoved. This is a debate-provoking novel that begs for a sequel.
A series of bizarre murders occur that have the Lake’s policeman baffled until he forms an unlikely alliance with Bradley. He needs to solve the murders before a civil war erupts over the ‘marriage question’. Whodunit buffs will enjoy following the trail of clues, which are not hidden from the reader.
‘In the Cold Light of Tomorrow’ is not about disasters. It is about people, societies, evolution, mystery, love, hate, intolerance, crime and punishment.
