Landfall

Landfall imagines a city at the fruition of the countless warnings we've ignored: shattered, exhausted and violent. Bradley's heatwave and looming storm make for wild drama: they're also what's waiting for us, on all the evidence. This is a propulsive crime thriller, drawn from a deep understanding of our likely urban futures. James Bradley has found yet another way to smash our apathy.

In Landfall, Bradley elevates the crime genre to portray a world where climate change has already landed and there’s no hiding from the consequences or the growing social divides. Absorbing, unsettling and masterfully written – Bradley’s vision of the future will stay with me for a long time.

Landfall is a deeply moving thriller, with police officer Sadiya desperately searching for a missing child before a deadly storm hits Sydney. The flooded cityscape is unrecognisable, humanity teetering on the brink, its inhabitants haunted by memories of the world before. A devastating and heartbreaking portrait of a terrifying future world and the chinks of humanity left within it. Unmissable

I loved Landfall. Of course the writing is next level - elegant and beautiful, your descriptions of decaying urban environment - and nature and its forces - just brilliant. The whole book has a very urgent, activating edge.
