"I love Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress and so when I heard that Andrew Moody was writing a post-apocalyptic transformation of the story, I just had to get my hands on it. And it did not disappoint! The world of the Autonomous Zone is vivid and richly imagined, its characters diverse and beautifully rendered, its insights into human nature mature and incisive. Not only that, but the deep spiritual truths to be mined from these pages left me thinking about the story for some time after I finished it. A book as thought-provoking and spiritually rich as the beloved Christian classic it is based on, but with its own original flair and fresh application for modern issues, The Blood Miles is a story to be devoured in one sitting, then closely contemplated over many more." —J. J. Fischer, author of The Nightingale Trilogy and The Soul Mark Duology

Wonderfully creative and deep
I've found the Pilgrim's Progress to be difficult to relate to given the age when it was written. So imagine my joy when I listened to this gem of a story that is, according to the author, 'Mad Max meets The Pilgrim's Progress'.
The author communicates deep theological truths that will resonate with modern ears, but does so in a way that doesn't sacrfice strorytelling (something many works of Christian fiction unforunately do).
Andrew's performance of reading his own work as an audiobook deserves much commendation too and adds greatly to the experience. A particular highlight of mine is his ability to describe the nuances in his characters by adopting different accents. There's quite a bit of humour too, as it seems clear that the author was somewhat inspired by Taika Waititi in this regard.
My only (slight) disappointment is with the ending of the story and unfortunately is something I cannot speak much about without spoiling it!
