5 STARS... This is a cli fi novel that looks into the future with dread but hope also, June 15, 2013
This is a ''cli fi'' novel that looks into the future with dread but also with hope, and it ends on a note of hope, which I think it important when dealiing with apocalyptic or climapocalytpic literature. I like the way the Moores stick together and try to make their polar city work! And i also found the "sex lottery" for breeding people in the future in this polar city to be both shocking and realistic. The novel deserves a huge readership.
5 STARS... Believable characters. Easy to follow storyline. Good read., January 24, 2013

One can almost feel the grime on the walls of the distressed and aging Polar City walls. In this novel, Jim takes into account the darker side of human nature and matriculates it into one of the great Polar Cities of the distant future. Mankind's last stand against an overly warmed and violent future-earth set about a century from now. With an excellent narrative flow and well fleshed-out, colorful characters to follow along, Polar City Red is definitely worth it. Check it out.

Review: Polar City Red
By the time I had read the prologue, I was hooked. The description of earth by 2075, supported by scientific research and most probable outcomes, engaged my mind and heart. We've all heard the concerns raised about global warming. This novel helped me to internalize that reality.
The story progresses quickly. Tension rises as a family escaping from the destruction of earth is rescued by a citizen of Polar City Red. The conflict begins as this family learns the social norms within the city. With nowhere else to go, they elect to join the survivors.
As they say, the rest of the story unfolds. The city must defend itself from the danger of raiders, who attempt to gain food and supplies for their survival. The plot is believable and his treatment of the female characters is genuinely touching.
The research and detail of the city, the impact of global warming, and the weaponry used is impressive.
I looked for increasing conflict and wondered if the family who joined the city could have generated more tension to the plot.
Polar City Red is a good read, and I highly recommend this book. I gave it five stars.
