Cold Fusion

In a remote Oregon biotech facility John Cope emerges from a coma to find himself in a world he no longer recognises. His identity lost, his memory vanished, he discovers that during his long sleep the planet has been plunged into eternal winter by the fall of a meteorite ten years before. America is three parts ice-bound wilderness and the country is run by a new scientific elite. Dr Mhairi Magnusson specialises in memory-retrieval and she is recruited to trawl Cope's brain for clues to his identity. In doing so she uncovers the horrors of his past and a yet more terrible future.
