About this listen
The Minton family is in crisis. After losing his job, Marcus begins stockpiling cans, running evacuation drills and digging a doomsday bunker in the back garden. At the same time, his daughters are unravelling in their own ways – Chantale is being haunted by dreams of disaster, and Briar’s obsession with a missing classmate draws her deeper into the seductive world of a UFO cult. Meanwhile, no one is aware of the devastating diagnosis their mother has been desperately trying to keep hidden.
Then, on the morning of the eldest daughter’s wedding, an extinction-level event tears the world apart, and the Mintons must fight their way through a devastated city – back to safety, survival, and each other.
A family drama perfect for fans of Station Eleven and The Leftovers.

Critic reviews
'The very human story of the end of the world, and what happens after. A compelling and haunting read'
ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY
‘Part apocalyptic thriller and part family drama, Not with a Bang is a deeply compelling tale set at the end of the world as we know it. Oh explores complex relationships with wit and enormous empathy. Every time I thought I knew a character inside and out, yet another layer was revealed; few books will keep you on your toes the way this one does. Thought-provoking, ambitious, and full of love – despite the horrors’
KEMI ASHING-GIWA, author of The Splinter in the Sky
'A cinematic, thrilling take on the apocalypse and a deeply moving portrait of a family losing and finding each other. Temi Oh writes my favourite kind of science fiction: grounded in the human, reaching for the stars' CATRIONA SILVEY, author of Meet Me in Another Life
