A WORLD HALF IN DARKNESS. A SECRET SHE MUST BRING TO LIGHT.

2059. The world has stopped turning.

One half suffers an endless frozen night; the other, nothing but burning sun.

Only in a slim twilit region between them can life survive.

In an isolationist Britain, scientist Ellen Hopper receives a letter from a dying man.

It contains a powerful and dangerous secret.

One that those in power will kill to conceal...

 Dystopien Postapokalyptisch Science Fiction Thriller

Kritikerstimmen

I read this hungrily ... Its intelligence and bravura characterization will have you turning page after page. A fabulous achievement.
A brilliantly clever thriller from a brilliantly clever writer. (Richard Osman)
Murray should be commended for going into the nitty-gritty of how his post-disaster society functions[…] What really distinguishes the book, though, is the creative energy of its world-building: it demonstrates the virtue of using the future as a playground for the imagination rather than trying to second-guess it.
A taut, thrilling runaround... The Last Day is an impressive dystopian techno-thriller. Murray paints a grim picture of a draconian isolationist Britain, with some vivid descriptions of a much-changed London, and the novel’s climax has a neat twist.
A brilliant debutwhich blends apocalyptic drama with a tale of espionage, keeping readers on tenterhooks […] Fans of Robert Harris will love it.
A stunningly original thriller set in the world of tomorrow that will make you think about what’s happening today.
A fresh take on the dystopian thriller, to say it’s gripping is an understatement - I cancelled all my weekend plans to finish it
[A]n atmosphere reminiscent of PD James’s dystopian classic The Children of Men and alternative history thrillers such as Len Deighton’s SS-GB. As with those novels, The Last Day investigates the “boiled frog” nature of totalitarianism, with Hunter Murray imagining what Britain succumbing to it would look and feel like. The result is a beautifully realised and thought provoking-thriller.
Dark, believable and brilliantly written
A thrilling page-turner, and a reminder to treasure our sunsets and sunrises while we still have them. I couldn’t put this book down!

I devoured this audiobook within a few days. I just couldn't put it (my phone) down. Loved it...and can't wait for it to become a series.

I hope there will be a book 2

What happens when Earth stops moving and is forever split into perpetual day and perpetual night? What becomes of nations, continents, nature? How do people handle their new reality? Andrew Hunter Murray creates a world that feels uncomfortably close and sets the intriguing mystery surrounding Ellen Hopper in the middle of it all. Herself an outsider, Ellen navigates the dangers of "A Brave New British Empire" to get to the truth behind it all.
The amazing Gemma Whelan's narration brings this world and its characters to life in a way that left me wanting more!
P.S.: The audiobook also includes a short bonus scene, as well as a conversation between author and narrator about the book and the idea behind it.

Intriguing story, beautifully read
