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
