Gaia's Revolution

From the back cover of the tp edition: "Two brothers. One dying planet. No innocent choices. The Icarian Trilogy opens in Berlin, 2022, and hurtles into a near future on the brink of collapse, where twin brothers Eric and Damien ignite a revolution that could save the planet—or erase humanity altogether. The population is expendable. As climate catastrophe scorches the Earth, Eric makes a ruthless, Machiavellian choice to "save" the world at any cost. He unleashes a DNA-targeted plague to cull the human population, then tightens his grip on the survivors through behavior engineering, genetic manipulation, and Techno-clones—man-machine enforcers that herd humanity into sealed megacities known as Icarias. The war is inevitable. Horrified by his brother's genocide and technocratic tyranny, Damien strikes back. He forms the Gaians, a radical eco-terrorist movement, and sparks a brutal uprising against both the regime and the blood that binds them. His weapon is a sentient symbiotic virus designed to enhance human cognition and help humanity thrive in a post–climate change world. Instead, it fractures reality—killing some hosts outright, while allowing others to communicate directly with artificial intelligence. As the brothers spiral into all-out war for the fate of the planet, a far more dangerous player emerges. Monica Schlange, a ruthless eco-extremist, manipulates both men like chess pieces in her own endgame: saving Earth from humanity and ruling the enclosed world of Icaria. To achieve it, she exploits three orphaned children who hold the secret to an intelligent virus—and the blueprint for an entirely new humanity. Saving the world was never meant to save everyone."
