“McBay’s passion combined with the tale’s escalating stakes and
adrenaline-fueled conflict will reel in readers and hold them
rapt.
An urgent call to action cloaked in a sprawling dystopian
debut.”
—Kirkus Reviews
"Political and climate activist McBay makes his fiction debut with
this dystopia exploring a resistance movement via two alternating
time lines. In 2028, disparate activist groups both clash and
collaborate in an attempt to stem the tides of climate change and
fascism. In 2051, the failures of the previous generation have
allowed a fascist pseudo-government to come to power, and an
underground resistance is the only hope of ending the oppression of
the York Emergency Authority and its “triage” system. . . With an
almost instructional focus on the inner workings of political
resistance, Kraken Calling is both a cautionary tale and an
inspiring call to action that will appeal to left-leaning readers
seeking to create social change." — Booklist
