Harry Hartog's review
This is how I love fiction (and in this case science fiction) to be written – here lays a story that develops as a fully realised world (utopian in model) with characters that you come to care for and get caught up in their daily happenstances, until suddenly the real truth is revealed, creating sense of what has been hidden and nibbling away at your perception that all is not what it seems – that THE WORLD IS NOT THE WORLD… I was taken by surprise and transported to new heights by the ending. - Micheal, Harry Hartog Bondi
Description
'Next to impossible to put down . . . exciting, mysterious, and totally satisfying.'
STEPHEN KING
*****
The islands of Prospera lie in a vast ocean: in splendid isolation from the rest of humanity, or whatever remains of it. . .
Citizens of the main island enjoy privileged lives, attended to by the support staff who live on a cramped neighbouring island, where whispers begin to grow into cries for revolution.
Meanwhile, life for Prosperans is perfection - and when it's not, their bodies are sent to the mysterious third island: a facility named The Nursery, to be rebooted and restart life afresh.
Proctor Bennett is a Ferryman, who shepherds the soon-to-be retired into the unknown. He never questioned his work until the day he is delivered a cryptic message:
"The world is not the world..."
These simple words unravel something that he has secretly suspected. They seep into strange dreams - of the stars and the sea - and the unshakeable feeling that someone is trying to tell him something important.
Something greater than anyone could possibly imagine, which could change the fate of humanity itself...
*****
'A mind-bending novel full of big ideas and a rollercoaster's worth of twists and turns - so powerful and thrilling!'
