Acceptable Range

From Peter Zeihan, New York Times bestselling author of The End of the World Is Just the Beginning, comes his first work of fiction: a high-stakes geopolitical thriller that spans continents and tests the limits of power, trust, technology, and national survival.

A striking fusion of real-world insight and pulse-pounding suspense, Acceptable Range is a global-systems thriller — part autopsy, part countdown — propelled by the momentum of a civilization in collapse. It examines the machinery of the modern world and how a system built for perfection forgets how to survive error. Even before someone…gives things a push.

In an age defined by feedback loops and vanishing margins, the question is no longer whether collapse can be stopped — only whether it can be contained within an acceptable range.

Acceptable Range is the first installment of a trilogy, forthcoming from BenBella Books in early 2027.
