The day of the triffids / by Wyndham, John,1903-1969,author.(CARDINAL)126612; VanderMeer, Jeff,writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)356747;
"What if a meteor shower left most of the world blind--and humanity at the mercy of mysterious carnivorous plants? Bill Masen undergoes eye surgery and awakes the next morning in his hospital bed to find civilization collapsing. Wandering the city, he soon realizes that surviving in this new world requires evading strangers and the seven-foot-tall plants known as triffids--plants that can walk and can kill a man with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers. The inspiration for 28 Days Later and countless postapocalyptic novels, this is the influential masterpiece of one of the twentieth century's most brilliant science fiction and horror writers."--Accelerated Reader AR

"The earth of the distant future is covered in thick clouds, and the sun no longer shines. Plants wither, and oxygen is thin. To fight extinction, humankind has developed a technology that turns humans into plants, providing a small amount of oxygen. Is this process sustainable? Is it ethical? Toshiro Kamiya must consider these questions as he's faced with a difficult choice--save his family or save himself. Struggling in poverty and slowly transforming, Kamiya must figure out how to spend the two brief years of humanity he has left after undergoing the transfloration procedure. The vine growing from his stomach has made him question his relationship with his mother and his employment at Transflora Medical. Meanwhile, Kamiya's childhood friend Hourai assists in the investigation of a string of murders committed by a spiriflor." -- Publisher.Rated: T+, Older teen, for realistic violence and existential themes.

The cusanus game / by Jeschke, Wolfgang.(CARDINAL)728347;
"Biologist Domenica Ligrina fears her planet is dying. She might be right. An atomic disaster in Germany has contaminated Northern Europe with radioactivity. Economic and political calamities are destroying the whole planet. Human DNA is mutating, plant species are going extinct, and scientists are feverishly working on possible solutions. It becomes increasingly apparent that the key to future salvation lies in the past. In 2052 a secret research facility in the Vatican is recruiting scientists for a mission to restore the flora of the irradiated territories. The institute claims to have time travel. When Domenica's sometime-lover tells her that he knows her future but that she must decide her own fate, she enlists despite his ambiguous warning. The Middle Ages hold Domenica spellbound. She immerses herself in the mysteries, puzzles, and peculiarities of a culture foreign to her, though she risks changing the past with effects far more disastrous than radiation poisoning. Perhaps there is more than one Domenica, and more than one catastrophe"--
