December days that feel like Spring. Droughts that last for years. Ocean temperatures creating massive hurricanes and frequent El Niños. The Earth is changing. Scientists estimate Earth will reach “Peak Heat” within the next several decades, forcing massive changes to the way humans live. What those changes will look like, we can only speculate…

Taipei Writers Group releases its third publication: Peak Heat, an anthology of dystopian stories dealing with the repercussions of a changing Earth pre-, during, or post- an apocalyptic global warming event. The stories range from optimistic, pessimistic, and pragmatic in each author’s perception of what the future holds.

Features an original story by Bradley Verdell. On the island of Sumatra, surfers attempt to resettle the coast following Peak Heat, but the waves have changed forever, one in particular.
