It’s 31st October
2041 in England. On her twenty-fifth birthday, Essie Glass still grieves for
her family, killed by a terrorist bomb when she was just sixteen. The signs of
humanity and climate in decline are everywhere. Roads and communities crumble,
floods and fires blight the landscape, and the sea reclaims the islands of the
world. Unconcerned, the government tightens its grip on power with brazen
propaganda and brutality.
Still, Essie has
built a good life with Seth and their four-year-old daughter, Willow. If only
she wasn’t haunted by the events of six years ago, when Alex Langford, corrupt
businessman-turned-Prime Minister, tried to kill her to conceal his conspiracy
to suppress climate-saving technology.
Essie takes solace in
her secret plot to build a new prototype. When tricked into revealing the
scheme to powerful enemies, she is forced to abandon her cherished family and
run for her life. Her flight drives her into the heart of a resistance movement
she never knew existed.
Among the chaos, and
in mortal danger, will Essie finally find hope for the future?
Counterpoint is the hotly awaited sequel to Tipping
Point, a gripping story of political environmental conspiracy.

Michelle Cook writes
thrillers and dystopian fiction. She lives in Worcestershire, UK with her
husband and their two young children.
Her first joyful
steps into creative writing were at the age of ten, when the teacher read out
her short story in class. A slapstick tale of two talking kangaroos breaking
out of a zoo, the work was sadly lost to history. Still, Michelle never forgot
the buzz of others enjoying her words.
More recently, she
has had several flash pieces published, was longlisted for the Cambridge Prize
for flash fiction, and placed first in the Writers’ Forum competition with her
short story The Truth About Cherry House. Her debut novel, Tipping Point, was a
finalist in the 2022 Page Turner Awards.
Counterpoint, the
sequel to Tipping Point, is her second novel.
