Summary:

“Miller gives us an incisive and beautifully written story of love, revenge, and the energy (and failure) of family in a scarily plausible upcoming. Blackfish City simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and question. Plus, they have lots of action and an excellent cast of characters. Not forgetting an orca and a polar carry!” -Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Clarke Awards

Following the climate wars, a floating city is constructed in the Arctic about Blackfish City: A Novel Circle, an extraordinary feat of mechanical and social engineering, complete with geothermal heating and sustainable energy. The city’s denizens have become accustomed to a roughshod new approach to life, however, the city is beginning to fray along the edges-crime and corruption have occur, the contradictions of amazing prosperity alongside direst poverty are spawning unrest, and a new disease called “the breaks” is certainly ravaging the population.

Whenever a strange fresh visitor arrives-a woman riding an orca, with a polar bear at her side-the city is entranced. The “orcamancer,” as she’s known, extremely subtly brings together four people-each living for the periphery-to stage unparalleled acts of level of resistance. By banding jointly to save their city before it crumbles under the excess weight of its decay, they’ll learn shocking truths about themselves.

Blackfish City is an amazingly urgent-and ultimately very hopeful-novel about political problem, organized crime, technology work amok, the results of climate change, gender identity, and the unifying power of human being connection.
