'Propulsive' GUARDIAN

'Unmissable' HEATHER CRITCHLOW

'Masterful' SARA FOSTER

The world is in the grip of climate catastrophe. Sydney has been transformed by rising sea levels, soaring temperatures and increasingly intense social division and unrest.

When a child on the margins goes missing from the area of the city known as the Floodline, Senior Detective Sadiya Azad is assigned to find her. But when a woman's body is found not far from where the girl disappeared she stumbles into a web of lies and corruption.

With only days until a deadly storm strikes the city Sadiya and her partner Detective Sergeant Paul Findlay find themselves locked in a desperate race against time.

Chilling and utterly compelling, Landfall is crime writing at its best - and a terrifying vision of the future bearing down on us.

Arvustused

PRAISE FOR LANDFALL Propulsive * Guardian * A devastating and heartbreaking portrait of a terrifying future world and the chinks of humanity left within it. Unmissable * Heather Critchlow, author of THE TOMORROW PROJECT * Absorbing, unsettling and masterfully written - Bradley's vision of the future will stay with me for a long time * Sara Foster, author of YOU DON'T KNOW ME * No one is better than James Bradley at finding the human stories in a world whose climate has broken. Landfall is propulsively told, vividly imagined and full of humanity * Professor David Farrier, University of Edinburgh * Australia's literary Nostradamus * The Weekend Australian * A propulsive crime thriller, drawn from a deep understanding of our likely urban futures * Jock Serong * Bradley flips the well-loved trope of the missing child by transporting it from its cliched bush setting into a post-climate-apocalypse Sydney, producing a genre mash-up of cli-fi and detective fiction . . . At its heart, Landfall is a tale of human resilience and connection, urging collective action on climate change from a dedicated writer who will persist until we heed the call * Sydney Morning Herald * I loved Landfall. Of course the writing is next level - elegant and beautiful, the descriptions of decaying urban environment - and nature and its forces - just brilliant. The whole book has a very urgent, activating edge * Paul Daley * Bradley has done something very clever with Landfall. He entices us in with all the bells and whistles of an unputdownable crime thriller, but then demands that we pay attention and imagine what our country could look like as climate change takes hold * The Bookshelf * Erudite and propulsive with a big-budget, cinematic climax . . . [ Landfall takes] these disparate threads - police procedural, climate refugee, the dissolving memories of a once-proud man - and brings them together into a meaningful and satisfying whole * Locus * Propulsive and thought-provoking * The Saturday Paper *
