Industry Reviews

Fans of the film, or of post-apocalyptic SF stories in general, will find this to be an interesting story, worth picking up." - ICV2

"Moody and immersive ... the end of this book totally put me on the edge of my seat" - Spoiler Free Movie Sleuth

"An absolutely fascinating read from cover to cover, Snowpiercer: The Escape is one of those dystopian science fiction stories that is all too plausible given today's political polarization, increasingly rapid climate change, and humanities undeniable contribution to the increasing extinction rates of flora and fauna species globally" - Midwest Book Review

"A rare sequence, over 35 years in the making, that retains its humane message as well as its painterly and expressive artistry in a magnificent fashion" - Bookgasm
