The Harvest of Synthetic Skies

In a world where the skies are no longer free but controlled by the cold calculus of corporations, **The Harvest of Synthetic Skies** by Mitchell Carter is a gripping tale of betrayal, redemption, and the resilience of the human spirit. Jada Tey, a fugitive weather manipulator branded a criminal, hides in the storm-battered ruins of the Southern Wastes. Once an elite operative for AtmosCorp, the planet’s dominant climate conglomerate, she now hacks their systems to redirect deadly storms away from vulnerable communities. Her actions are illegal, punishable by death, but for Jada, the risk is a penance for her past complicity in corporate-engineered disasters. Enter Kiran Ash, a war veteran turned bounty hunter, tasked with hunting down rogue manipulators like Jada. When their paths collide, what begins as a straightforward mission unravels into a chilling conspiracy: AtmosCorp is weaponizing weather, engineering storms to devastate impoverished regions and maximize profit. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Jada and Kiran navigate treacherous skies and corporate-controlled territories, uncovering Project Tempest—a global scheme of climate control and exploitation. As they race to expose the truth, pursued by enforcers, mercenaries, and corrupt government agents, their journey becomes a fight for justice and redemption. With the help of disillusioned scientist Laurie Weber and the street-smart smuggler Darius Garcia, they infiltrate AtmosCorp’s gleaming towers of control, confronting the ruthless CEO Elara Voss in a climactic battle of wits and will. **The Harvest of Synthetic Skies** is a heart-pounding exploration of corporate greed, environmental justice, and the power of collective resistance. With intricate world-building, morally complex characters, and a plot crackling with tension, this novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page. In a world where the skies are synthetic, the fight to reclaim them is real.
