This is an anthology of four individual but connected stories dealing with a controversial topic. They cover a period of time when human induced climate change is an undeniable reality. A reality to be faced here and now. A child that likes to learn, who's playful yet serious makes a discovery. She's an only child who fancies she's a musician, and hangs out with her best friend, Janus. Janus is killer whale and he wants to talk to this little girl. He desperately wants to talk to her and finds a way to do so. What he had to say wasn't pleasant listening though.
Sam Clinton is a computer jockey, a real good one despite being fed up with the scientist team he works for. He has a special relationship with Wharf, a humpback whale. In this tale, Wharf is the last real friend Sam will ever have. Before departing, Wharf leaves a final message that grasps hold of Sam's heart and won't release it's grip until the day he dies, whenever that will be.
A little girl known as Rizin is fun loving kid who lives underground. She doesn't think much of what grown-ups say or believe. That doesn't matter, she's a clever lass who loves operating subterranean elevators. When not doing that she likes taking huge risks by playing a dangerous game of "chicken" with those high speed elevators. Or exploring the dark forbidden sections of her cave home. A devil may care kid who takes a life that's not very good and lives it to the hilt.
Then there's ARTIC 4, a sentient computer vested with control of a Mars bound spaceship and maintaining the life of its crew. It's mission is bring the crew safely to Mars and assist the terra-forming. To help humanity escape the destruction they have imposed on planet Earth and by default, themselves. But then, something went wrong, gravely wrong and ARTIC's sorrow knew no bounds.
