Welcome to the gripping narrative of Inland, Kate Risse’s first novel. Set in the year 2026, Inland transports readers into the near future, where the forces of climate change irrevocably alter the Earth’s landscape. It is not just a journey across the flooded ruins of America but a deep dive into the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.
Inland challenges readers to consider the future we are creating, emphasizing not just the environmental impact of our actions but the human cost of inaction. Through Juliet, Martin, and Billy’s intertwined stories, Risse explores themes of survival, technology’s double-edged sword, and the indomitable nature of human relationships.
Audiobook excerpts from Chapters 3, 5, and 33
“A chilling meditation on the fragility—and the resilience—of the ties that bind us in the face of crisis.”
—Amanda Hagood, professor of environmental humanities at Eckerd College and Arts & Environment reporter for The Gabber
“Beautifully written story with a vivid sense of place that will connect readers with nature and make the environmental crisis real and personal. Engaging characters and human warmth demonstrate that individuals can be part of creating solutions to the threats we all face. Accessible, readable adventure with a true green heart.”
—Nicola Davies, award-winning children’s book author
“Inland is a timely and poignant novel that resonates deeply with the challenges of our modern world. Risse’s masterful storytelling and keen insight make it a must-read for anyone seeking a gripping tale of survival, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of family in the face of adversity.”
