Dalla quarta di copertina

IN THE FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL, ANYTHING GOES

The floods have come. Some are lucky to be alive. Though they might not count themselves lucky. In the aftermath of global devastation, those left barely survive, living in fear and near starvation. They have lost everything, including their future.

But there is one way out: a boat to X Isle.

And Baz is about to take it.

'It's a gripping and often unsettling tale, and it's suffused with a sense of genuine loss' Irish Times

'Long, rich and exciting; full to bursting with imaginative ideas and images' Carousel

'X Isle . . . will thrill you' Flipside
