The Society of Unknowable Objects

The Da Vinci Code meets magic in a rollicking tale of secrets and espionage. I loved the international settings, the diverse cast of characters, the edge-of-your-seat plot . . . a pacy, action-packed joy of a read!

FIZA SAEED McLYNN, author of The Midnight Carousel

Joyful, exuberant, and crackling with adventure. This book is as magical as those it celebrates.

STUART TURTON, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

A stunning fever dream of a story that feels completely real – don't miss this fantastic thriller debut.

LEE CHILD

A real page-turner - incredibly ambitious and inventive, The Book of Doors is a great read.

ROSIE ANDREWS, author of The Leviathan

The Society of Unknowable Objects utterly demolishes the difficult second book syndrome. A thrilling, globe-spanning adventure that wrong footed me at every turn, and like The Book of Doors, features a truly memorable villain.

ADAM SIMCOX, author of The Dying Squad

A fast-paced flight of magic, mystery and whimsy, whisking readers on an around-the-world adventure alongside a lovable cast of characters tasked with protecting the world’s most valuable secret — and perhaps keeping a few secrets of their own.

NIKKI ERLICK, author of The Measure

And acclaim for THE BOOK OF DOORS

Endlessly inventive, Brown transports the reader to new worlds filled with adventure and magic.

A. J. WEST, author of The Betrayal of Thomas True

The Society of Unknowable Objects is a dazzling, globe-trotting thriller with a spectacular dash of magic. Like Michael Crichton at his finest, but with fantasy. Brilliant stuff!

SUNYI DEAN, author of The Book Eaters

Filmic, fast paced and brilliantly imaginative, Gareth Brown’s The Society of Unknowable Objects is a thrilling read that will leave you eager for the next instalment of this hugely entertaining fantasy series.

ANITA FRANK, author of The Good Liars

Huge fun; a fast-paced globetrotting tale.

SFX Magazine

Gripping, fantastical story . . . whisking readers from a cosy bookshop in London to the bustling cityscape of Hong Kong to a forgotten town in the deep south of America. It’s full of impossible magic, damning secrets and ordinary characters wrestling with extraordinary objects. But the best element of this story is its dark, cinematic heart, which explores what happens when god-like power is placed in the wrong hands . . . Brown weaves an intriguing mystery.

CULTUREFLY

Brown’s propulsive plot and plucky heroine keep the pages turning. It’s good fun.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Fantastical . . . so begins this quirky adventure with echoes of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and The Da Vinci Code.
