Description
You can serve your country or you can serve your government, but you can't do both. In a future America wracked by climate change, disease, and civil unrest, Martene Fisher has risen from humble beginnings to realize her dream of becoming a military officer and pilot, positions usually reserved for members of the upper class. With an elevated social status and a lifestyle few in her world enjoy, she has everything she's ever wanted and more than most could hope for: a career, a home, people she loves, relative security. But Martene discovers the job is not what it seems and her perfect life begins to crumble when she learns the sinister truth behind the government program she works for-and North America's most profitable export. SWALLOW is a dark and gritty work of speculative social fiction in the same vein as V for Vendetta and The Handmaid's Tale. Inspired by real-life histories of human experimentation, this timely novel explores some of today's most pressing social and environmental issues, including climate change, pollution, pandemic viruses, ethics in medicine, and criminal and economic justice.
