The Coming Darkness announced by The Bookseller
The Bookseller has today announced our upcoming publication of The Coming Darkness, a dystopian climate change thriller which is the debut novel from Greg Mosse, playwright, director, producer and creative writing teacher.
Described as Bladerunner meets John le Carré, The Coming Darkness takes place in 2037, in a world where scientific advances struggle to keep pace with the climate crisis and novel pathogens, and inequality entrenches vicious social division. Alexandre Lamarque of the French external security service finds himself embroiled in an ominous sequence of events, from a theft from a Norwegian genetics lab to a chaotic coup in a breakaway North African republic and the extraction under fire of its charismatic leader. In a heath-thumping race against chaos and destruction, Alex may just be the world’s only hope…
The Coming Darkness has already received accolades from fellow thriller writers like Anthony Horowitz and Lee Child, who describes The Coming Darkness as “Superb – there's an ominous drumbeat throughout, and pace and tension, and a subtle and scarily plausible dystopia – and above all there's main character Alex Lamarque, who could be one of the greats. Greg Mosse writes like John Le Carré's hip grandson.”
Publisher Christi Daugherty said “We’re delighted to have acquired The Coming Darkness. Its thrilling twists and turns keep you guessing, and the eerily familiar yet dystopian setting sent chills up my spine - in a world where the climate crisis continues to grow, and the world has been forced to become intimately familiar with what a global pandemic looks like, Greg’s 2037 really doesn’t feel so far away. Greg is an incredible new voice in thriller writing, and we’re so proud to welcome him to the Moonflower Books family.”
