Cataveiro
A boat is shipwrecked on Patagonian shores, and rumors abound that it
has come from ‘the lost city’ Osiris, believed to have been destroyed
over 50 years ago. The implications are wide-reaching and acutely
political, for in the eyes of the world Osiris is only a collection of
fables.
Pilot and cartographer Ramona, recently returned to the island of Tierra del Fuego, has a broken plane, and the only person who can fix it for
her is the Antarctican, Taeo, a political exile desperate to find a way
back home.
Glimpsing an opportunity for redemption, Taeo discovers there is one
survivor of the shipwreck: the sole proof that Osiris exists. He and
Ramona find themselves caught up in a perilous conflict of interests
over the secret of the sea city, a secret which will have severe
repercussions on their lives, their homes, and their loved ones.
The second book of the Osiris Project by E. J. Swift explodes the
previously narrow setting of the first book into a widescreen panorama.
She paints the remains of the post-climate change, post-scarcity world
in stark, bloody colors. Cataveiro is a futuristic political thriller
that straddles oceans and continents.
