Summary
'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. . .
Surrounded by sun, and sea, and stars, their world is perfect. But every paradise comes at a price.
When the truth behind theirs is revealed, it will end a way of life, and start a revolution that will change the course of humanity itself.
And it will all begin with one person hearing these simple words:
"The world is not the world..."

ANDY WEIR, author of The Martian

incredible, blew me away
One of the best books I have ever read. reminiscent of 1984 . Gripping, intriguing and making me think about life and living. I will now read everything else Justin has written! Great performances too.

Lengthy sci fi exploration - could do with tightening up
I was initially very curious about where this story was going but there were many points that I felt it was never going to get wherever that was
I was almost disappointed by what I thought the final reveal
was, only to have that develop further unexpected layers.
However overall I felt this story needed to be significantly cropped or made into a series.

Fabulous
Loved it start to finish. Trouble is that all good books come to an end. Great concepts. I liked that at times I wondered which reality I was in. Kept me on my toes. Well written, well read, a superb yarn. Thank you to all involved.

worth listening but
It wasn't a bad book but nothing compared to the passage trilogy. It kept me guessing but probably just because it would have been hard to consider the ending. I didn't much like the characters or the ending, which for a story about moving on, didn't really have much progression. There are things that I enjoyed. the setting was great and the scenes were vivid. The half explanations at every turn could be annoying but definitely kept me guessing. I hope Justin's next book will be as gripping as the previous.

Good but loses rhythm
It’s a great descriptive story with a underlying mystery and naive guessing game as you explore this similar but foreign world with the main character. Very engaging and majority of the book is thought out and satisfying but feel it falls short at the end and should have left it more open instead of a rushed wrap up that I felt we got. 8/10

Excellent listen
A thoroughly enjoyable listen with plenty of intrigue, action and drama. It keeps you guessing throughout just what is going on. I recommend listening to this.

Not what I expected after The twelve and The passage
My all time favourite listens are all
Of the Justin Cronin books, till this. Such a great idea and so much to consider and think about but just didn’t flow for me. The characters never really became as intriguing and interesting as I hoped

Another amazing performance and read
You wouldn’t think after the trilogy that there was much else to the imagination but he certainly pulled this one off too. It was an enjoyable listen with great narrators that can make or break a good book. Perfect companions. Thanks for another great book and performance
