About this listen

As Lan lies dying, she makes a promise that binds her long into the Beyond. Fifteen years later, her teenage granddaughter, Kaitlyn, triggers an international storm of outrage that unleashes the rage of a whole betrayed generation. For one shining fragment of time, the world is with her. But then the backlash begins and soon she and those closest to her find themselves facing the wrath of the old establishment, who will use every dirty trick in the book to fight them off.

Watching over the growing chaos is Lan, who taught them all to think independently, approach power sceptically and dream with clear intent. She knows more than one generation’s hopes are on the line. Nothing less than the future of humanity stands in the balance.

Compelling, informative, inspiring! This book ticks all the boxes of the best reads.

I could not put it down, and the second time through is even better! The characters feel real and human with all their flaws and triumphs. While the story is mesmerizing, Manda weaves so much more into and throughout the narrative. We see how we might move away from business and politics as usual and work together to create, as Manda says, a world we are proud to leave to the generations that follow. We need everyone to read this book, especially those prepared to lead the way.

A stunning book for thinking people and for those who are only just realizing that what they think matters.

If this book was a core curriculum book for young adults we really could leave this world a better place for the generations to come. More than that though, it is a book for all generations. It is not fair to leave this mess to them to sort out. Read it, share it, start conversations. Do some Googling, learn, teach, explore possibilities within yourself and across the generations. Power to those with wisdom and wisdom to those in power!!

A Compelling Combination of Speculative Throughtopia, Political Thriller and Ghost Story.

Manda Scott is a fantastic writer. The characters are complex and nuanced, the action and pacing is just right and the story threw in surprises and twists throughout the whole plot arc.
I am a huge fan of her podcast "Accidental Gods", so it was fun to see the topics discussed in the podcast make an appearance in the novel.
I was a bit worried it would be overly didactic, but it wasn't at all, it was a great story first and foremost.
