Reviews"Tim Lebbon destroys the world like most of us put our socks on in the morning. But this is different. The catalyst of the story is hope. The hope that humanity survives, against the odds doled out by a planet that has its own plans for survival. Eden is Deliverance with the volume turned up to eleven. A breathtaking ride through the wild - the really wild - that would give Bear Grylls nightmares." --Stephen Volk, writer of BBC's Ghostwatch and The Dark Masters Trilogy " Eden is a smart, thrilling, relentless, eco-nightmare that will worm its tendrils deep into you. Let your own ghost orchid grow." Paul Tremblay author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World " Eden is a perfect torn-from-the-headlines biological thriller. Tim Lebbon mixes action, complex characters, and climate science into an absolute page-turner. This is why science fiction is so important! Highly recommended!" Jonathan Maberry, New York Times Bestselling author of V-WARS and RAGE "Tim Lebbon gives us a near-future as terrifying as it exhilarating, and--most frightening of all--irresistibly beautiful. Surrender to Eden ." Alma Katsu, author of The Deep and The Hunger, " Eden is a smart, thrilling, relentless, eco-nightmare that will worm its tendrils deep into you. Let your own ghost orchid grow."
