Reviews / Votes
Imaginative, perfectly paced and extremely clever . . . Walks the fine line between page-turning thriller and smart sci-fi. Another killer read from Blake -- Andy Weir Blake Crouch has invented his own brand of page-turner - fearlessly genre-bending, consistently surprising and determined to explode the boundaries of what a thriller can be -- Karin Slaughter Terrific . . . A great storyteller hitting his stride -- Lee Child It's clear you're in the hands of a master storyteller -- Alex Michaelides Amazingly gripping and totally immersive -- Diana Gabaldon Blake Crouch doesn't pull any punches -- Veronica Roth Blake Crouch is brilliant. His innovative novels never fail to grip! -- Sarah Pekkanen This helter skelter survival thriller grabbed me from the first page and didn't put me down until I'd finished it three days later. The pace is breakneck, the concept equal parts fascinating and terrifying, and I really enjoyed it * Holly Seddon *More details
