We need more novels that take on human exceptionalism with such gusto´ Ever Dundas ______ It's been eighteen months since the Enceladons escaped the clutches of an American military determined to exterminate the peaceful alien creatures. Lennox and Vonnie have been lying low in the Scottish Highlands, Ava has been caring for her young daughter Chloe, and Heather is adjusting to her new life with Sandy and the other Enceladons in the Arctic Ocean, off the coast of Greenland. But fate is about to bring them together again for one last battle. When Lennox and Vonnie are visited by Karl Jensen, a Norwegian billionaire intent on making contact with the Encedalons again, they are wary of subjecting the aliens to further dangers. But when word arrives that Ava's daughter has suffered an attack and might die without urgent help, they reluctantly make the trip to Greenland, where they enlist the vital help of local woman Niviaq. It's not long before they're drawn into a complex web of lies, deceit and death. What is Karl's company really up to? Why are sea creatures attacking boats? Why is Sandy acting so strangely, and why are polar bears getting involved? Profound, ambitious and immensely moving, The Transcendent Tide is the epic conclusion to the Encedalons Trilogy – a final showdown between the best and worst of humanity, the animal kingdom and the Encedalons. The future of life on earth will be changed forever, but not everyone will survive to see it… ______ `A brilliant novel … a timely meditation on man's destructive nature´ Ambrose Parry `Wonderfully drawn … a serious critique of the state of the world today in a tense thriller anchored in the lives of ordinary people´ James Oswald `One of the best writers of his generation´ CrimeTime `The perfect end to the perfect trilogy´ Michael Wood `Powerful, profound, prescient and pacy´ Lyndsey Croal Praise for The Trilogy *Selected for BBC 2 Between the Covers 2023* *Longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize* `I loved it´ Sara Cox `A barnstorming thriller … a wonderful and radical sense of a greater, wider way of seeing life on our planet´ Martin MacInnes `Science fiction gains a new author´ Derek B.
