Brought to you by Penguin.

In a disintegrating and increasingly lawless land, a young man is travelling north.
Ben is a young painter from the crowded, turbulent city. For six months his fiancée Cara has been living on the remote island of Sanctuary Rock, the property of millionaire philanthropist Sir John Pemberley. Now she has decided to break off their engagement and stay there for good.

Ben resolves to travel to the island to win Cara back. But the journey there is a harsh and challenging one, and when he does arrive, a terrible shock awaits him.

As Ben begins to find his way around Pemberley's perfect island, he knows he must also discover - what has made Cara so determined to throw her old life away? And is Sanctuary Rock truly a second Eden, as the mysterious Sir John claims - or a prospect of hell?

By the Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Last Day, this high-concept thriller will provoke and grip you from the very first page.

I absolutely loved this book. The premise was fascinating, the writing really excellent and the characters nicely developed. A very rewarding page turner.

Wonderful Book

I got this on a whim as a regular No Such Thing As A Fish listener, without any particular expectations. It’s the best book I’ve read this year, reminiscent of some of my favourite classic sci fi, like Huxley, John Christopher, Wyndham. Bit annoying that the author is able to write so well as well as being part of such a good and completely different style podcast!

Excellent original & well-written book

I’d seen this listed as a sequel to The Last Day online, so was excited to listen. Turns out - it’s definitely not a sequel. BUT this book is excellent in its own right. Plenty of twists and turns, and a tantalisingly ambiguous ending. Highly recommend.

NOT a sequel to The Last Day, but very good!

This is an enormously powerful tale - I’d have listened to it in one go if I could! I thought it had echos of various other books that have a major effect on me including The Magus by John Fowles. The author portrays the vacillation and confusion of the main character very well and apart from a few slow spots early on, it gathered pace and momentum and was increasingly compelling. Be sure to listen to the “extras” after the end of the story!

I usually avoid books narrated by the author - I find that writers are often not good narrators - but this one flows very well.

Powerful and compelling

Couldn't stop listening, really thrilling work. So glad it was narrated by the author.

Gripping, and very well narrated.
