PERDITION: ALL ROADS LED HERE
Eight minutes on the surface.
That’s all the time you have before the air turns lethal.
One year after civilisation collapsed, humanity’s last survivors live underground in Haven, a sealed city built on silence, control, and fear.
In Haven, noise is forbidden.
Because sound brings death.
Only Runners go above, risking the poisoned surface to scavenge what remains.
Ash Fryxell is one of the best.
Fast. Loyal. Efficient.
He trusted Haven.
He trusted the rules.
Until runners start returning alive…
…and falling apart anyway.
Their bodies fail.
Their minds unravel.
Leadership calls it contamination.
Ash knows they’re lying.
Then he discovers the impossible.
An unregistered pregnancy.
In Haven, every birth is controlled.
Every life accounted for.
This child should not exist.
As panic spreads and the city locks down, one broken rule changes everything.
A sound.
A breach.
An invitation.
What answers from the surface is far worse than anyone imagined.
Now Haven is under siege.
And Ash must decide whether to protect the last safe city on Earth,
or expose the lie it was built on.
Because if the child lives, Haven dies.

Fantastic read!!
I really enjoy Dan’s writing style. Having read several of his books, I scooped this up straight away.
I was hooked from the beginning, and found myself transported to a very different world to mine.
The characters brought the story to life and the story itself was like nothing else I’d ever read! Bravo!
