The year is 2088. Humanity has poisoned the planet—and nature has activated an ancient survival protocol. The Great Urban Agglomeration was built to keep civilization alive beneath an atmosphere of industrial smog. Corporate filtration towers clean the air. Automated Green Belts regulate the environment. Technology has made a dying world manageable. Then thousands of sunflowers turn away from the sun. When elite drone operator Maya Lin witnesses an entire residential district silently killed by a strange biological release, she steals the evidence before her corporate superiors can erase it. Her search for answers leads her to Dr. Alistair Vance, a brilliant and deeply cynical paleobotanist who discovers something far more terrifying than pollution, mutation, or biological warfare. The plants are reverting. Buried within their cells is an evolutionary legacy billions of years old—the remnants of a primordial predator that once formed the biological partnership that made complex plant life possible. Under extreme environmental stress, that partnership is breaking down. And the predator is waking up. Soon forests stop producing oxygen. Root systems attack critical infrastructure. Cities become invisible harvesting traps. Humanity's attempts to fight back only cause the rapidly adapting biosphere to become more dangerous. Then Alistair discovers the true scale of the transformation. Earth's plant life isn't simply attacking humanity. It is preparing the planet for what comes next. With a global atmospheric catastrophe approaching, Maya and Alistair have only hours to find a way to restore the ancient biological partnership before the planet completes a reset that could end human civilization. REVERT is a science-fiction thriller about evolution, climate, survival, and what happens when humanity discovers that it was never truly in control of nature. We thought plants needed us. We were wrong.
