NOTES

Sage Walker's suspenseful, Locus Award-winning first novel, Whiteout, takes us to a twenty-first century Earth where government means multinational corporation. And, daily living means a struggle to survive the effects of overpopulation, poverty, pollution, and hunger. One last hope remains: Antarctica, the only source of pristine water and food left on the planet. Antarctica is protected from human exploitation by international treaty, and that treaty's due for renegotiation. The people who have the talents to influence the outcome of these negotiations run Edges, a company of media manipulators. They've been hired by one of the corporations for whom the current situation suits them just fine, and they'd like to keep it that way. This team knows that they have the skills to make whatever they want happen. But, they also know that if they succeed, they might doom the planet
