At the beginning of February 2060, Mount Erebus erupted, the first of a chain of Antarctic volcanoes that forever changed Earth’s future. Within days, sea levels began to rise, until 60 meters of water claimed coastlines worldwide.
Twelve-year-old Xin-yi and her mother fled their home, surviving among a community of rice farmers. A year later, a chance conversation with international census officials prepared her for a new life.
Now 14, Xin-yi commences her training as a visionary. It is her task to imagine a new Earth, rising above the drowning waters. Thousands of young people strive to design a world in which the displaced millions can live and engineer a solution that will take a millennium to populate.
But Xin-yi’s challenges are more personal: coming to terms with the loss of her brother and unexpected feelings toward a friend. She has to choose between working to benefit humanity and her internal conflict with love.
Set over three decades after the 2060 flood, The Visionary combines dystopian future and science fiction and introduces J.C. Gemmell’s Tion series.
