Ultimatum

Ultimatum by Matthew Glass is a chillingly prescient and brilliantly constructed political thriller set in a near-future America where climate change has created a crisis of almost unimaginable proportions. Told with the insider authority of an author who clearly understands how real political power operates, it is a novel that reads with the pace of a thriller but the weight of serious geopolitical fiction.

The newly elected President of the United States inherits a catastrophic situation: climate change has caused mass displacement on a scale that threatens American society's stability, and the only solution requires China's full cooperation on global emissions reduction. What follows is a high-stakes diplomatic confrontation between the world's two superpowers — a confrontation in which neither side can afford to lose, and in which the line between negotiation and ultimatum is drawn with terrifying clarity.

Glass writes with exceptional command of political process, the psychology of power, and the dramatic possibilities of institutional conflict. Ultimatum is a remarkable debut — a novel whose scenario feels not merely plausible but urgently relevant, and whose characters are drawn with the kind of moral complexity that makes political fiction genuinely illuminating. Essential reading for fans of political thrillers and anyone who thinks seriously about climate, geopolitics, and the choices that define our future.
