Michelle Min Sterling
In a near-future northern settlement, a handful of climate change survivors find their fates intertwined in this mesmerizing and transportive novel in the vein of Station Eleven and The Power.In the far north of Canada sits Camp Zero, an American building project hiding many secrets. Desperate to help her climate-displaced Korean immigrant mother, Rose agrees to travel to Camp Zero and spy on its architect in exchange for housing. She arrives at the same time as another newcomer, a college professor named Grant who is determined to flee his wealthy family’s dark legacy. Gradually, they realize that there is more to the architect than previously thought, and a disturbing mystery lurks beneath the surface of the camp. At the same time, rumors abound of an elite group of women soldiers living and working at a nearby Cold War-era climate research station. What are they doing there? And who is leading them? An electrifying page-turner where nothing is as it seems, Camp Zero cleverly explores how the intersection of gender, class, and migration will impact who and what will survive in a warming world.

"2.8 stars The conflicts didn't really feel like conflicts and it felt like it took to long just to get to them. And when some of the conflicts were introduced they didn't really feel high stakes so it made them kind of boring. The White Alice chapters were the best storyline and I wonder why that wasnt the main focus of the book. The Rose chapters pale in comparison. I don't regret reading it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

"It took me a long time to get through this, considering it isn’t an overly long book. For most of the story I wondered where all of it was going, but not in a good way. In fact, I didn’t overly care where it went but wanted to get through it much faster than I was. Honestly, the whole thing was depressing and I’m glad it is over. "
"The first half of this book was good enough to keep me reading but I struggled with the rest of it."
