On a remote coastal path, Giles awakes in his new body to discover a world reshaped and magnified into a place of astounding abundance and deadly peril. Desperate to reconnect with his loved ones, he seeks the help of fellow survivors, and together they embark on a quest across the altered landscape. But as their journey unfolds, the more the question persists – are they still truly human, or has their reduction in size marked the beginning of a descent into savagery, an evolution into something other?

Elsewhere, one week earlier, Professor Elizabeth Goodwin makes a monumental discovery – God is alive and physically among us, but not in the form we’ve been taught to expect. As Goodwin prepares to make first contact with the omnipresent ocean-spanning creature, forces conspire in the wings, and the spectre of imminent catastrophe inches closer and closer still . . .

My Thoughts:

This is a bit different to what I would normally read but I thought I would give it a go and I am glad I did. When Giles wakes up not knowing where he is and what has happened to him, he is alone and afraid, seeking reassurance and wanting to find out where his loved ones are he sets out to find anyone around. But this journey is not safe and their lives are in peril danger, can Giles figure out what has happened or is something else at play here? Professor Elizabeth Goodwin has made a massive discovery and it could really affect the world but nothing is what she thought would happen and God has thrown a spanner in its works. It was a powerful and thought provoking read that really did pull me in. I have never read a book that I was so mesmerised with, the writing was dark and detailed. It has really made me do a lot of thinking and this was an adventure and a half.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
