Описание и характеристики
A brilliant near-future thriller and a really cracking read RICHARD OSMAN
Reminiscent of Robert Harriss high-concept conspiracy thrillers FINANCIAL TIMES
A WORLD HALF IN DARKNESS. A SECRET SHE MUST BRING TO LIGHT.
2059. The world has stopped turning.
One half suffers an endless frozen night; the other, nothing but burning sun.
Only in a slim twilit region between them can life survive.
In an isolationist Britain clinging on in the twilight zone, scientist Ellen Hopper receives a letter from a dying man. It contains a powerful and dangerous secret.
One that those in power will kill to conceal...
THE LAST DAY: an utterly original thriller from an exciting new voice, perfect for readers who loved Robert Harris Fatherland, Emily St. John Mandels Station 11, and The Wall by John Lanchester.
Wonderful: boldly imagined and beautifully written - the best future-shock thriller for years.
LEE CHILD
A tantalizing, suspenseful odyssey of frustration, deceit, treachery, torture, hope, despair and ingenious sleuthing... Murray has so thoroughly thought through the ramifications of his conceit and conjured up such a dramatic plot and stellar cast of characters that he might have set a new standard for such tales.
WASHINGTON POST
A stunningly original thriller set in the world of tomorrow that will make you think about whats happening today.
HARLAN COBEN
A taut, thrilling runaround.
GUARDIAN
I read this hungrily ... Its intelligence and bravura characterisation will have you turning page after page. A fabulous achievement.
STEPHEN FRY
A brilliant debut ... Fans of Robert Harris will love it
DAILY EXPRESS
To say its gripping is an understatement - I cancelled all my weekend plans to finish it
SARA PASCOE
In his fascinating debut, Murray has crafted something original ... an interesting new twist on a post-apocalyptic tale.
KIRKUS
Downright impossible to stop reading. The science is believable, the near-future world feels as real as our own, the characters are lively, and the plot is suspenseful. A near-perfect alternate-future thriller.
BOOKLIST
Dark, believable and brilliantly written
JENNY COLGAN
A thrilling page-turner, and a reminder to treasure our sunsets and sunrises while we still have them. I couldnt put this book down!
CHRISTINA DALCHER, author of VOX
