The Organelles

The Earth is a cell. The magnetosphere is its membrane. The ocean currents are its endoplasmic reticulum. The core is its nucleus. The biosphere is its mitochondria. And the cell is dying.

Geophysicist Friederike Roeder detects impossible acceleration in the weakening of Earth's magnetic field. Her global team discovers the planet's systems are failing in a pattern that mirrors cellular death. Auroras at the equator. Satellites failing. Telecommunications collapsing. Radiation climbing. They must convince governments to act, outmaneuver a corporation hoarding data, and restart the planetary dynamo before Earth's immune system shuts down. The answer is hidden in the smallest unit of life.
