Description
The climate crisis is here, and no refuge is safe.
In the late 2050s, Henry seeks safety in Sediment Valley, an Appalachian retreat promising peace, prosperity, and a place to bake his delicious sweets. But the corporate powers of SustainAble have other plans for Sediment Valley and the geologic power it hides.
Henry soon meets Colson, a reserved butler for the founder of Sediment Valley, and Brisa, a tech genius with an outgoing spirit. Unbeknownst to Henry, both Colson and Brisa have concealed their motivations for leaving the violence of the outside world.
When they discover the true, terrifying plans for the valley and its inhabitants, Henry, Colson, and Brisa must learn to trust one another to save themselves, their loved ones—and the world.
Three isolated heroes face impossible odds. Can they work together to liberate the valley? Or is it already too late to act?
A Valley to Harness welcomes readers, new and returning, to the speculative future of The World’s Revolution.

An intriguing exploration of innovation and environmental ethics, A Valley to Harness blends suspense, rich characters, and a speculative future to craft a thought-provoking narrative.
Bartles' writing shines through in his amazing ability to bring the world to life through imagery. The characters are well developed and you can understand their motivations very clearly. This novel is extremely thought provoking and an amazing examination of the cost of innovation.

This was a really exciting read. I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was really blown away by the storytelling in A Valley to Harness. This novel is outside what I normally read, but I had some touchstones to look to in the genre, and A Valley to Harness still kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages.

Great writing of speculative fiction, amazing storytelling and a very thought provoking message about the impact of human technological advancements and climate change. I very much enjoyed the main characters and the roles they played in the development of the plotline.
