About this listen

A group of scientists and soldiers are hunted by mysterious enemies in a terrifying new climate thriller from the "Master of British SF"

Doctor Jasmine Marks is going back into hell.

The Hygrometric Dehabitation Region, or the "Zone," is a growing band of rainforest on the equator, where the heat and humidity make it impossible for warm-blooded animals to survive. A human being without protection in the Zone is dead in minutes.

Twenty years ago, Marks went into the rainforest with a group of researchers led by Doctor Elaine Fell, to study the extraordinary climate and see if it could be used in agriculture. The only thing she learned was that the Zone was no place for people. There were deaths, and the program was cut short.

Now, they're sending her back in. A plane crash, a rescue mission, a race against time and the environment to bring out the survivors. But there are things Marks's corporate masters aren't telling her. The Zone keeps its secrets, and so does Doctor Fell . . .

Andre sets a high bar. This is a cool book, but not gripping or satiating in the way some of his others are;... it's not very long, and just not one of the best.
The narrator doesn't do a great job (particularly the German accent attempts), & this detracts from the story. (And obviously nothing beats Children of Time).

Interesting, but not amazing

The characters were likable with no obvious and unbearable villains and low stakes, so this made for a cosy read. Despite this, people are struggling to survive in a deadly environment and I couldn’t put it down.

Tchaikovsky always manages to nail the endings and this was no exception. A banger!
