Decades after a catastrophic Solar Burst, exposure to daylight can be deadly. Melanin has become a measure of power: those with more of it rule, while Low Mels like Clara Bello live under the protection and control of sponsors. “Threshold” is a climate science fiction novel about survival, inherited power, and the cost of changing a world built to keep you in your place.

Jason Paulino is the HUD specialist in the Westbeth Management office. He is a novelist, blogger and screenwriter.
