Doug Johnstone The Transcendent Tide review en recensie
- “Wonderfully drawn … a serious critique of the state of the world today in a tense thriller anchored in the lives of ordinary people.” (James Oswald)
- “An affecting and thought-provoking read. Johnstone’s worldbuilding is top notch in this pacy eco-alien tale of peril and hope.” (Tendai Huchu)
- “Doug Johnstone has emerged as the unholy, octopoid lovechild of David Attenborough and Michael Crichton … a thrilling, action-packed adventure.” (Callum McSorley)
Flaptekst van de thriller van de Schotse schrijver Doug Johnstone
Eighteen months after escaping the American military, the Enceladons have found fragile refuge off Greenland. But the world hasn’t changed, and danger still looms. Lennox and Vonnie are in hiding, Ava is raising her daughter Chloe, and Heather, now living with Sandy and the Enceladons in the Arctic, senses disturbing changes in the natural world – mirrored in the behaviour of the animals around them. When Chloe falls gravely ill, the group must reunite, drawn into a perilous alliance with a charismatic billionaire whose true motives remain unclear. As sea creatures attack vessels, polar bears stray from ancient paths, and Sandy grows increasingly unstable, it becomes clear the final battle is about more than survival – it’s about the soul of the planet.
Profound, thrilling and deeply human, The Transcendent Tide brings the Enceladons Trilogy to a heart-stopping conclusion. Doug Johnstone weaves environmental urgency, moral reckoning and powerful emotion into a story that asks what kind of world we want to leave behind – and what we’re willing to sacrifice to protect it.
