If Tomorrow Ever Comes

If Tomorrow Ever Comes is a gripping climate-fiction thriller that offers a harrowing peek into a near-future shaped by humanity's profound negligence. The novel serves as an urgent wake-up call, warning that the failure to aggressively implement the provisions of the Paris Accord will inevitably culminate in global environmental catastrophe. While modern society already experiences an ominous foretaste of this crisis through erratic weather patterns, unprecedented flooding, severe heat waves, and intense hurricanes, this narrative vividly brings to life the chaotic world that awaits if drastic, collective measures are not immediately enforced. Set in a climate-ravaged Phoenix, Arizona, the story revolves around Paseiro, a brilliant and resilient entrepreneur navigating a high-stakes landscape fractured by rapid technological advancements and extreme environmental volatility. Striking a delicate balance between a complex love life, a booming business empire, and his commitment to his community, Paseiro dedicates himself to protecting the vulnerable citizens around him. His visionary efforts are heavily rewarded, propelling him into the ranks of the wealthiest individuals on the planet. However, in a plot filled with sharp twists and psychological tension, Paseiro’s phenomenal career takes a dark, irreversible turn. Pushed over the brink by his wife's inordinate, insatiable desires, he commits a devastating act of betrayal against the very community he spent his entire life serving. When a toxic domestic fallout leads his wife to turn him in, Paseiro is sentenced to a grueling twenty-year term in solitary confinement. The narrative reaches a poignant, deeply introspective climax on the eve of his release, as an older, isolated Paseiro muses on the ultimate essence of his life—wondering what place, if any, remains for him in a drastically altered, unrecognizable world.
