Description
In a world ravaged by the relentless march of nature, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. The few remaining humans are beset on all sides by the very forces that once sustained them. The giant Termites, once their unlikely allies, now stand as the only bulwark against the crushing greenery that seeks to consume them whole. As the elders of this strange new world face the specter of their own demise, a young girl named Toy is chosen to lead the remnants of humanity. But not everyone is content with this arrangement, and a marring partner named Gren sets his sights on tearing the group apart in a quest for a new Eden. The very fabric of this world is torn apart by the conflict, as the boundaries between light and darkness are pushed to their limits. A landmark novel of environmental crisis, Hothouse is a haunting vision of a world in peril, where the boundaries between nature and humanity are blurred beyond recognition.
