About this listen

The incredible new novel and brand new world from the international bestselling author of the Wool trilogy.

The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes. Here in this land of howling wind and infernal sand, four siblings find themselves scattered and lost. Palmer has never been the same since his father walked out twelve years ago. His elder sister, Vic, is trying to run away from the past; his younger brothers, Connor and Rob, are risking their lives to embrace it. His mother, left with nothing but anger, is just trying to forget.

Palmer wants to prove his worth, not only to his family, but to himself. And in the barren, dune-covered landscape of his home, there is only one way to earn respect: Sand-diving. Plunging deep below the desert floor in search of relics and scraps of the old world. He is about to embark on the most dangerous dive of his young life, aiming to become the first to discover the rumoured city below.

Deep within the sand lies the key to bringing his family together - and tearing their world apart.

Huge fan of the Wool trilogy and, if anything , I like this even more.

loved it!

I like the original concept behind this book. I rated it (which i don't usually) do because I felt the average score was unfairly low

Very inventive concept

The storyline has some great sand diving with as you would hope plenty of technical detail to aid reality but the storyline is overall quite weak and ends poorly. That said i still enjoyed it but felt it could have been better.

Worth the read?

A fantastic story that follows on from Wool Triogy. Only point is a very sudden ending... could have easily got another trilogy from it.

Great story but a sudden ending
