An expertly crafted post-apocalyptic adventure from the prize-winning author of The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again
'One of the best writers of fiction currently at work in English' Robert Macfarlane 'Is M. John Harrison the best writer at work today? He's certainly among the deftest and most original' Olivia Laing, Guardian It feels like the end. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, Europe has been mislaid: yet the exact cause of the catastrophe remains obscure. Is it an alien invasion? An ecological collapse? Or an unprompted change in the nature of reality? Phillip Tennent makes a living selling exotic lifeforms washed up from the Channel - until he lands a creature whose shapeshifting properties threaten to destabilise everything he thinks he knows. M. John Harrison, acknowledged master of science fiction, unsettles and entertains in this slyly satirical adventure into the limits of human knowledge and mastery.

Future critics will find in his writing a distinct, clear-eyed vision of late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century life * Times Literary Supplement *
With M. John Harrison, you're never quite sure what you're reading or where it will take you next. There are only a few certainties: that it will surprise you, sometimes astound you, and leave you profoundly changed' -- Jonathan Coe, author of The Rotters’ Club
