Introduced by Jeff VanderMeer - 'a classic: stunning, dangerous,
darkly beautiful' - welcome to the post-apocalyptic White Lotus: a
luxury hotel at the end of the world in this lost 1967 dystopia ...
'Chilling and prescient.' Andrew Hunter Murray 'Elemental and
true.' Kiran Millwood Hargrave 'Mesmerizing.' Sandra Newman 'Like
someone from the future screaming to us.' Salena Godden The day we
came up from the shelters four people were found dead on the steps
of the hotel. Welcome to Termush: a luxury coastal resort like no
other. All the wealthy guests are survivors: preppers who reserved
rooms long before the Disaster. Inside, they embrace exclusive
radiation shelters, ambient music and lavish provisions; outside,
radioactive dust falls on the sculpture park, security men step
over dead birds, and a reconnaissance party embarks. Despite
weathering a nuclear apocalypse, their problems are only just
beginning. Soon, the Management begins censoring news; disruptive
guests are sedated; initial generosity towards Strangers ceases as
fears of contamination and limited resources grow. But as the
numbers - and desperation - of external survivors increase, they
must decide what it means to forge a new moral code at the end (or
beginning?) of the world ... Translated by Sylvia Clayton
