This book is well written, with wonderful world building, containing interesting ideas and well rounded characters. It gets started with a mystery set in a futuristic dome contained environment in Alaska, that really has one guessing for a bit before revealing more at play.

Being a prequel, it does have a bit of a set out plot it must line up to in the end and I wonder if this hurt it just a little. The last third of the book seeming to dial into that notion where I feel it could have kept stretching out the narrative a bit more before concluding. That really is my only gripe with the novella, that fact that it ended too soon and I was left wanting to explore it's world more before saying goodbye.
If you have an interest in futuristic, cyberpunk like, grounded SciFi involving a detective mystery, Mega corps, murder and the like, then you can't go wrong with Cold Wind Blowing!
