Publisher's Summary
Shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick Award
The Book of Koli begins a breathtakingly original new trilogy set in a strange and deadly world of our own making.
Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognisable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, the Shunned men will.
Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls.
He's wrong.

Great book series
If you start this book expecting something like The Girl with all the Gifts you'll be disappointed. I finished TGWATG and the prequel, The Boy on the Bridge & immediately looked for more Carey books & came across this one hoping for more of the same. I was a little jarred to find that not only is the story completely different, but so is the style of writing. It's almost as if someone else has written it. I'm ashamed to say that it therefore took me a while to get into the book. I wanted to stop about halfway through, but I am so glad I persevered. This trilogy is a wonderful story of unusual companionship, acceptance and equality, and suspenseful adventure. It is a good eye opener for our reliance on technology and just how much we have. Theo Solomon does a great job narrating, though I do wish he had given Ursula from elsewhere a less grating voice. All round decent series.

Amazing story
Read all three books. 1,2,3 without pause…. Almost… I did have to go to work.
Incredible journey into a strange but at times familiar world.
Highly recommend this trilogy.
Narrators were amazing.
Thank you to author and all involved in this production for an incredible work.

Enjoyable, not groundbreaking, but worth it
On the whole this is one of the better books i have read (listened to) this year
As far as the story goes there is no groundbreaking work, if you have been a long term science fiction reader than some of the big 'reveals' will be pretty obvious, but they are written and delivered in a fresh way that made me smile even as i knew what es going to come next. Although some other reviews have focused in on the environmental message, although in my mind this is a very small part of the overall plot
The voice acting was perfect for this book, with a accent that completely meet the protagonist, some of the other characters are not quite as perfect but that's being picky.
The 15 or so hours i spent on this book where well worth it in my view and i was sorry when they ended and have already bought the next in the series.

Slow start but worth it
Very slow start. Almost gave up on it, but glad I kept going. When the story picks up, it is very good. In the end, I really enjoyed this book.
