At CrimeReads Holroyde tagged three titles from her favorite recent climate/disaster fiction, including:
In Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse, [killers] serve as a haunting backstory. Most of the world’s population has perished in catastrophic flooding and the Energy Wars that followed. The Indigenous Navajos, or Diné, build the Wall to stay safe from the 
outside world, but there is too much starvation within. A band of killers surround Maggie Hoskie on the night of her sixteenth birthday. They butcher her grandmother but when they turn on Maggie, her supernatural clan powers awaken as a defensive mechanism. She saves her own life by becoming a killer of killers. Maggie changes, like the rest of the world, into something new entirely. Now an adult, she looks up at the Wall and remembers that her people “had already suffered their apocalypse over a century before. This wasn’t our end. This was our rebirth.”
