Description
One sunny spring morning, a small community in New Zealand is suddenly overwhelmed by a temporary deadly insanity.
There are fourteen survivors.
Trapped inside a 'No-Go', cut off from the outside world, they must pull together, bury the dead, face their fears - and survive.
Because whatever caused the madness is still at large. And it is hasn't finished with them yet.
Wake is a story of extreme events, ordinary people and invisible monsters.
'Wake is the creepiest book I've ever loved: gorgeous, horrifying and insanely inventive' Laini Taylor, author of Dreams of Gods and Monsters
'Wake reads like a collaboration between Dean Koontz and John Wyndham, rewritten by Margaret Atwood' Guardian
'A triumph all of its own. Knox writes with a rare psychological acuity about humans under pressure in a baffling, intolerable predicament' Financial Times
'What starts off as a horror story builds into a taut, psychological sci-fi thriller that is alive to the troubling questions of what happens to humans when civilisation as they know it disintegrates' Sunday Times
'Wake will haunt your dreams' Sci-Fi Bulletin
