The first in a new trilogy set in the world of the groundbreaking Chaos Walking series, which has sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide.·

“In a world full of Noise, the CHAOS WALKING trilogy delivered a razor-sharp take on humanity and morality even more relevant now than when it was first published.” Neal Shusterman

Now, almost twenty years on, Patrick Ness makes a momentous return to New World.

Something has been spotted in the night sky. Something that’s bringing back dreams of Noise, dreams of terror. Brothers Ben and Max have never really gotten on, each being more like one of their parents – Todd and Viola.

But now they will have to come together.

SOMETHING IS COMING.

Blending sci-fi, speculative fiction and adventure with themes of power, division and hope.

Jacketed hardback to feature endpaper illustration by Jim Kay, award-winning artist of A Monster Calls.
