Críticas

"Ultimatum is a rare thriller that terrifies not because it is possible, but because it feels probable--if not inevitable. . . . Sharp as a well-honed scalpel, Ultimatum is a masterful novel with deftly drawn characters, real settings, and a dark, dark understanding of geopolitical reality." -- Douglas Preston "Ultimatum is a great read--both a gripping thriller and a remarkably intelligent political novel. Matt Glass weaves together fascinating research, thoughtful analysis, and first-rate storytelling to produce a novel that is hard to put down and will stay with readers long after the conclusion." -- David Liss "Ultimatum is a spellbinding debut novel from a writer poised to turn the thriller world upside-down." -- William Bernhardt

Reseña del editor

November 2032. Joe Benton has just been elected the forty-eighth president of the United States. Only days after winning, Benton learns from his predecessor that previous estimates regarding the effect of global warming on rising sea levels have been grossly underestimated. With the world frighteningly close to catastrophe, Benton must save the United States from environmental devastation. He resumes secret bilateral negotiations with the Chinese--the world's worst polluter--and as the two superpowers lock horns, the ensuing battle of wits becomes a race against time. With tension escalating on almost every page and building to an astonishing climax, Matthew Glass's visionary and deeply unsettling thriller steers us into the dark heart of political intrigue and a future that is all too believable.
