A totally unique Sci-fi/Thriller mashup that will make you laugh, quake, shake your head in wonder, and most of all, keep on reading as the story takes you into places heretofore completely unimaginable.
Dan Foster- our third person POV narrator, is a twenty-nine-year-old lovable angst-ridden loser — who also happens to be handsome, charming and really really drop-dead funny (the “loser” label, perhaps, existing only in Dan’s head, as his beautiful and sensitive girlfriend, Mara, would be the first to point out).
When Dan and Mara take a long-awaited vacation to an all-inclusive resort in the sun-soaked Bahamas, they have no idea that their world is about to change. Unbelievably, in fact. As that “sun”, so bright, and such a beautiful feature of any Caribbean island, is about to suddenly explode.
What happens next is about as outrageously frightening and catastrophic as a reader might expect. As the population of vacationers currently visiting the resort, (divided between three residences, ranging from high to low in the luxury of the experience offered) scramble to survive their dark and rapidly glaciating surroundings, Dan and Mara find themselves unwittingingly participating in what may be the strangest revolution to grace the pages of a literary novel. With savage chills redolent of Animal Farm, and an absurd grotesqueness deeply reminiscent of Kafka, our heros’ journey is like no other – guaranteed to intrigue, and captivate, right up to the unexpected (and totally satisfying) ending.
Highly recommended, (and did I mention, funny?) this reader is looking forward to reading more from this new (and very talented) author.
A great big thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for an ARC of this book. All thoughts presented are my own.
