Synopsis:
Set in the near future (2053) in a world ravished by climate change and civilization is on the brink of collapse, a father sets on a dark and dangerous journey to try to find his abducted daughter.

The story is gripping, menacing, ghastly and tightly woven from the very beginning. Many aspects of the stories are very dark and at times hard to stomach, as it deals with human cruelty, destruction of the planet, suffering, but especially topics of kidnapping, child sex trafficking, but Adam Nevill weaves all these together expertly and keeps your engaged and invested in the story from page 1, all thanks to his exceptional writing.

Now, the writing--this, in my opinion, is the true star of the book--it is extraordinary! His vocabulary is vast and his descriptions are vivid, precise, fluid, and imaginative. Not only do you see what the protagonist sees, you smell what he smells, you hear what he hears, and you feel what he feels--both emotionally and physically. The scenes are so vivid it's almost like watching a movie! I'm deeply impressed by Adam Nevill's writing and I think he is a true literary master!

I highly recommend this book just by its writing alone, and I'll definitely read more of Adam Nevill's works!
