More about the book:
THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME. THE GAMBLE OF A LIFE.
Five hundred years from now, Earth's three billion citizens look up to their solar system after centuries of retreating from every environment on the planet. A hushed-up discovery, too impossible to believe, but too important to ignore, sends astrobiology professor Jack Wilson away from his home in Chicago. Alone, he undertakes a quiet journey through a landscape almost nobody has stepped in for centuries: the interior of North America. Success could rewrite history—the world's, and his family's. Failure risks the lives of his friends, including one he hasn't seen for a decade.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Carl Armstrong moved to Chicagoland in 1993 and has spent the intervening three decades living, teaching, and eventually raising a family with his wife in the western suburbs. Years of exploring fragmented suburban ecosystems and light-polluted skies led him to imagine a past and future world with neither. This, plus many years of teaching environmental science and astronomy, led to his debut novel, They Left One Tree. When not writing—or lesson planning—Carl often hikes around with a camera, bikes the trails with a CamelBak®, or attends the Plano Writers’ Group.
