Tom Hoyle
This offers a straightforward survival thriller built around a countdown, extremist beliefs and attacks in a familiar city. Its strongest appeal is likely suspense and danger rather than deeply developed character exploration.
R.M. Ballantyne
Expect a survival adventure led by three boys, with island exploration, natural history, outdoor living and encounters with danger. Its confident Victorian moral outlook is central rather than incidental.
Alastair Chisholm
A fast-moving environmental dystopian adventure about polluted air, family survival, invention and corporate control. Sparrow and Miriam face a powerful opponent while trying to make clean air available beyond one supplier.
