'Next to impossible to put down . . . exciting, mysterious, and
totally satisfying.' STEPHEN KING ***** The islands of Prospera lie
in a vast ocean: in splendid isolation from the rest of humanity,
or whatever remains of it. . . Citizens of the main island enjoy
privileged lives, attended to by the support staff who live on a
cramped neighbouring island, where whispers begin to grow into
cries for revolution. Meanwhile, life for Prosperans is perfection
- and when it's not, their bodies are sent to the mysterious third
island: a facility named The Nursery, to be rebooted and restart
life afresh. Proctor Bennett is a Ferryman, who shepherds the
soon-to-be retired into the unknown. He never questioned his work
until the day he is delivered a cryptic message: "The world is not
the world..." These simple words unravel something that he has
secretly suspected. They seep into strange dreams - of the stars
and the sea - and the unshakeable feeling that someone is trying to
tell him something important. Something greater than anyone could
possibly imagine, which could change the fate of humanity itself...
***** 'A mind-bending novel full of big ideas and a rollercoaster's
worth of twists and turns - so powerful and thrilling!' ANDY WEIR,
author of The Martian
