Description
From Andrew Caldecott, the bestselling author of ROTHERWEIRD, comes the jaw-dropping conclusion of the MOMENTICON duology - an epic adventure like no other!
'Remember Simul' - the last words of a dying man, and the key to mankind's survival.
Words which take Morag, Fogg and their friends on a wild ride through caverns and over mountains, into old paintings, to a university unlike any other and up the lethal Tower of No Return. A ride where mythical beasts, legendary monster-hunters and a corrupt establishment lie in wait . . . while the weather-watchers look on and bide their time.
It's a race against extinction too . . . for nature herself is bent on vengeance.

Reviews / Votes
Special and dangerous properties . . . opens a series of trap-doors in the readers' imagination * Hilary Mantel, Booker prize winning author, on Rotherweird * Whimsical science fiction at its finest. A satisfying jigsaw where the bigger picture doesn't become visible until the final piece is slotted into place * Geek Dad on Momenticon * It feels non-stop: constantly splitting the protagonists up and bringing them together again, delivering a series of growing climaxes and then leaving readers hanging for a concluding second volume * Pile by the Bed on Momenticon * One of the most unique books I've read . . . a compelling and enrapturing story that captures the reader from the first page to the last * Grimdark Magazine on Momenticon * Has the arbitrary and rather hallucinogenic atmosphere of the Alice in Wonderland books * British Science Fiction Association on Momenticon * A book that is unlike anything else you have read * SF Book Reviews on Momenticon * Caldecott successfully creates an equally engaging and original a world as Rotherweird. Highly recommended. * Goodreads reviewer on Momenticon * Momenticon is a perplexing and brilliant story full of literary and artistic rabbit holes and quirky characters. It ends on a cliffhanger and I want to continue this journey for sure. * Goodreads reviewer on Momenticon * I'm not sure there are enough words that can accurately describe this weird, brilliant, funny and adventurous read. * Goodreads reviewer on Momenticon * A rip-roaring adventure through a brilliantly weird and wonderful dystopian landscape. I can't imagine what'll happen in the next book but I can't wait to find out! * Goodreads reviewer on Momenticon *More details
