In the late 2030s, Earth is burning—and powerful forces are determined to let it burn. When a revolutionary solar shield known as the Solar Umbrella is deployed to combat global warming, UN hydrologist Dicky Kruger is sent to assess its integrity. But he’s hiding a secret that could bring the whole system crashing down.

 

After a harrowing rescue of his colleagues—South African engineer JP and American climate scientist Sophie—from religious extremists in the Sahel, Dicky is pulled into a deadly global conspiracy. A fanatical coalition, led by a televangelist and an imam, aims to hijack the Solar Umbrella and trigger an apocalyptic endgame.

 

As the planet teeters on collapse, Dicky, JP, and Sophie must navigate betrayal, guilt, and their own complex histories to stop the weaponization of Earth’s last hope. The final battle will test their courage—and cost one of them everything.

 

Blending the high-stakes urgency of State of Fear with the moral depth of The Ministry for the Future, The Future is Now is a thrilling, emotionally resonant climate epic for our times.
