Century Rain by Alastair Reynolds
Set in a future where Earth has become uninhabitable, the story intertwines the lives of Verity Auger, an archaeologist from a devastated Earth, and Wendell Floyd, a private detective in an alternate 1950s Paris. As Auger is sent on a mission to this parallel world to uncover secrets that could save her own, she and Floyd become embroiled in a complex conspiracy that spans both realities. Their journey reveals hidden truths about the nature of existence, the power of memory, and the enduring human spirit, all while racing against time to prevent a catastrophic event that threatens both worlds.
