Cold people [sound recording] : a novel / by Smith, Tom Rob,author.; Lowman, Rebecca,narrator.; Simon & Schuster Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by Rebecca Lowman."The world has fallen. Without warning, a mysterious and omnipotent force has claimed the planet for their own. There are no negotiations, no demands, no reasons given for their actions. All they have is a message: humanity has thirty days to reach the one place on Earth where they will be allowed to exist ... Antarctica. Cold People follows the perilous journeys of a handful of those who endure the frantic exodus to the most extreme environment on the planet. But their goal is not merely to survive the present. Because as they cling to life on the ice, the remnants of their past swept away, they must also confront the urgent challenge: can they change and evolve rapidly enough to ensure humanity's future? Can they build a new society in the sub-zero cold? Original and imaginative, as profoundly intimate as it is grand in scope, Cold People is a masterful and unforgettable epic"--

Oil people : a novel / by Huebert, David,author.;
"Weaving together family saga, gothic myth, and eco-fiction, Oil People is an audacious debut novel about history and family, land and power, and oil as both contaminant and an object of wonder. It's 1987, and thirteen-year-old Jade Armbruster lives with her parents and older sister on their family petroleum museum--an old and decaying property that their father is desperately trying to sell. While she tries to live out a normal teenage existence, avoiding her best-friend-turned-nemesis and vying for the attention of a cute farmer boy, the oil swirling beneath her family's home has left a mark on all of them. For Jade, it appears as a haunting yet familiar presence that she can't quite place. It's 1862, and Clyde Armbruster catches his big break, striking Lambton County's first gusher and helping to form a community that will be known as Oil Springs. The discovery brings wealth and opportunity to him and his wife, but his daily proximity to oil leaves him infertile and may be the cause of his periodic hallucinatory visions of a red-haired girl in strange clothing. At the same time, Clyde and his wife develop a tense friendship with their eccentric and wealthy neighbours, a relationship that promises even more success until a fateful moment intertwines the two families forever, locking them into a bitter rivalry that lasts generations. As the two narratives twist and tangle together, family secrets and deceits are slowly unveiled, and the slick and lucid spectre of oil seeps off the page, revealing a portrait of a world and a land physically bleeding from the actions of the greedy and powerful. Intense and visceral, agile and lyrical, Oil People signals the arrival of a profound and vital voice."--
