Summary:
"In eighteenth-century Ohio, two brothers travel into the wooded frontier, planting apple orchards from which they plan to profit in the years to come. As they remake the wilderness in their own image, the long-held bonds and secrets between the two will be tested, fractured, broken--and possibly healed. Fifty years from now, in the second half of the twenty-first century, climate change has ravaged the earth. Having invested early in genetic engineering and food science, one company now owns all of the world's resources. But a growing resistance is working to redistribute both land and power--and in a pivotal moment for the future of humanity, one of the company's original founders will return to headquarters, intending to destroy what he helped build. A thousand years in the future, North America is covered by a massive sheet of ice inhabited by only one lonely being in a deteriorating tech station. In a daring and quixotic quest, he sets out across the continent in search of a fabled last remnant of civilization."-- Provided by publisher.
