Next to impossible to put down . . . exciting, mysterious, and totally satisfying.
STEPHEN KING

The islands of Prospera lie in a vast ocean, splendidly isolated from the rest of humanity, or whatever remains of it. Surrounded by sun, sea, and stars, their world is seemingly perfect. The people of Prospera live in luxury, their lives extended by advanced technologies and their societal woes resolved. However, with every utopia comes an underlying cost, a hidden truth.

In this entrancing narrative, we follow the protagonist who starts to uncover the disturbing reality behind Prospera's deceptive perfection. As secrets unfold, the perfect veneer of the islands begins to crack, revealing the sacrifices made to maintain such an idyllic existence. It all begins with a haunting phrase that promises to upend everything: "The world is not the world..."

What emerges is a gripping tale of discovery, revolution, and the indomitable human spirit. As the protagonist's quest for truth escalates, they find themselves thrust into a journey that could dismantle their world and reshape the future of humanity. Will the revelation spark a revolution that changes the course of human history?

Praise for The Ferryman:

'A mind-bending novel full of big ideas and a rollercoaster's worth of twists and turns - so powerful and thrilling!'
ANDY WEIR, author of The Martian

'All of my sky-high expectations were smashed... Fiction doesn't get better than this.'
BLAKE CROUCH, author of Dark Matter

The Ferryman by Justin Cronin invites readers into a world of suspense and intrigue, where the quest for truth might just turn everything on its head.
