THE FERRYMAN - JUSTIN CRONIN TASCHENBUCH

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 'All of my sky-high expectations
were smashed. The Ferryman  like the very best speculative fiction  is a transcendent
meditation on the human condition  delivered through gorgeous prose  characters who steal your
heart  and riveting storytelling that is guaranteed to put the rest of your life on hold until
you've turned the final page. Fiction doesn't get better than this.' BLAKE CROUCH  author of
Dark Matter
