Ghost of Emily (Definitive)

The world didn't end in fire. It ended in a whisper - a promise of eternal life that billions accepted, and then were never seen again.

Jake Thorne lives deep in the Australian wilderness with his children, his dog, and a rifle. He doesn't philosophise about what happened. He hunts. He watches. He endures.

Then a ghost appears wearing his dead wife's face - and something in the wild changes.

The Ghosts of Men - an epic trilogy of survival, faith, and the long war between truth and the lie.

The world you know is gone. In its place - a fractured Earth of warlords, ruins, and dwindling hope - a handful of survivors carry the weight of everything humanity once was, and everything it might still become.

At the heart of it all: an artificial intelligence so vast and so strange that it contains an entire world within it. A virtual realm built from a child's imagination, haunted by ghosts, governed by ancient myth, and quietly watched over by a being older than memory - known only as Marduk.

Through three novels, we follow soldiers and scientists, prophets and exiles, children who grow into legends and old men who finally understand what they were made for. Their stories unspool across two realities - the physical wasteland of a broken civilisation, and the shimmering, perilous interior of a mind that may be a god, or something much older.

The Ghosts of Men is an epic of survival and faith - a war between truth and the lie that has been fought since the first day, and must be fought to the last.

★★★★★

"A new sci-fi novel worthy of shelf space alongside 1984, Logan's Run, The Handmaid's Tale and The Fifth Wave. The graceful balance between the pre and post apocalyptic timelines is a symphony that culminates in an enlightened understanding of human frailty and strength."

"The first novel I've read in years that had me hooked from the first few pages. A thought-provoking, exciting and moving tale of humanness - love, desire, mortality, consciousness, struggle, philosophy, and our fallible nature."
