About this listen

The sun is bloated, diseased, dying perhaps. Beneath its baneful light, Shadrapar, last of all cities, harbours fewer than 100,000 human souls. Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity. Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, survivor. This is his testament, an account of the journey that took him into the blazing desolation of the western deserts and into the labyrinths and caverns of the underworld. He will meet with monsters and mutants. The question is, which one of them will inherit this Earth?

Humanity clings to life on a dying Earth.

Epic, far-future science fiction from an award-winning author.

Part jungle adventure story, part sci fi, part prison story, part criminal underworld, what’s not to like! This is now up there as one of my favourite books!

I loved this book!!!

Great original novel, each part is distinctly different. It kind of loses its way in the middle but brings it back. Worth a listen.

Somehow dark but funny, meandering yet fascinating, CoS is worth more than one listen.

Another amazing novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky
