Simul: Momenticon, Book 2
Autor Andrew Caldecotten Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 ian 2024
'Remember Simul' - the last words of a dying man, and the key to mankind's survival.
Words which will take Morag, Fogg and their friends on a wild ride through caverns and over mountain tops, into old paintings, to a university unlike any other and up the lethal Tower of No Return. A ride where mythical beasts and legendary monster-hunters - and the forces of a corrupt establishment led by the murderous Cosmo Vane - lie in wait. . .
And all the while, the weather-watchers look on and bide their time.
It's a race against extinction for Morag and Fogg and finally everyone... for nature herself is also bent on vengeance.

'Special and dangerous properties . . . opens a series of trap-doors in the readers' imagination' - Hilary Mantel, Booker prize winning author, on Rotherweird
Recenzii
Whimsical science fiction at its finest. A satisfying jigsaw where the bigger picture doesn't become visible until the final piece is slotted into place
It feels non-stop: constantly splitting the protagonists up and bringing them together again, delivering a series of growing climaxes and then leaving readers hanging for a concluding second volume
One of the most unique books I've read . . . a compelling and enrapturing story that captures the reader from the first page to the last
Has the arbitrary and rather hallucinogenic atmosphere of the Alice in Wonderland books
A book that is unlike anything else you have read
Caldecott successfully creates an equally engaging and original a world as Rotherweird. Highly recommended.
Momenticon is a perplexing and brilliant story full of literary and artistic rabbit holes and quirky characters. It ends on a cliffhanger and I want to continue this journey for sure.
I'm not sure there are enough words that can accurately describe this weird, brilliant, funny and adventurous read.
A rip-roaring adventure through a brilliantly weird and wonderful dystopian landscape. I can't imagine what'll happen in the next book but I can't wait to find out!
