A hugely compelling, dark, offbeat adventure from the bestselling author of ROTHERWEIRD. The world has become a dangerous place. Despite the environmentalists' best efforts, the atmosphere has turned toxic, destroying almost all life - plants, animals, and most of humanity too. Survivors live in domes protected by chitin shields, serving one or other of the two great companies, Lord Vane' s Tempestas or Lord Sine' s Genrich, with their very different visions for mankind' s future. A long period of uneasy collaboration between them is about to end. Far from these centres of power stands the Museum Dome, where persons unknown have assembled mankind' s finest paintings and artefacts and installed a young man, Fogg, as its curator. Here he has laboured for three years without a single visitor and with only AIPT, his automated physical trainer, for company. Then a single mysterious pill - a momenticon - appears in the Museum and triggers a series of bewildering events, embroiling Fogg and his unexpected new companions in a desperate fight against the dark forces which threaten to overwhelm all that remains. And time is running out.
A history-tragic-comedy all rolled into one, Rotherweird is intricate and crisp, witty and solemn: a book not unlike other books, but with special and dangerous properties. Line by line, silent and adroit, it opens a series of trap-doors in the reader' s imagination * Hilary Mantel, two-time Man Booker prize winner, on Rotherweird * Baroque, Byzantine and beautiful - not to mention bold. An enthralling puzzle picture of a book * M. R. CAREY, author of the bestselling The Girl With All The Gifts, on ROTHERWEIRD * Compelling * THE GUARDIAN on ROTHERWEIRD * Magnificent * MIDNIGHT BLUE on WYNTERTYDE * Darkly hypnotic * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH on WYNTERTYDE * A triumphant final volume to what has been a constantly surprising piece of modern British fantasy. Part Gormenghast, part Monty Python, part mythology, part Terry Pratchett, a little bit steampunk . . . this series, its setting and its tone is totally unique and thoroughly enjoyable and should be celebrated as such * PILE BY THE BED on LOST ACRE *
