About this listen
The Vagrant is his name. He has no other.
Years have passed since humanity’s destruction emerged from the Breach.
Friendless and alone he walks across a desolate, war-torn landscape.
As each day passes the world tumbles further into depravity, bent and twisted by the new order, corrupted by the Usurper, the enemy, and his infernal horde.
His purpose is to reach the Shining City, last bastion of the human race, and deliver the only weapon that may make a difference in the ongoing war.
What little hope remains is dying. Abandoned by its leader, The Seven, and its heroes, The Seraph Knights, the last defences of a once great civilisation are crumbling into dust.
But the Shining City is far away and the world is a very dangerous place.
©2015 Peter Newman (P)2015 HarperCollins Publishers LimitedCritic Reviews
'For fans of classic science-fiction literature, this is a must-read.' – SciFi Now
'Come visit this brilliantly imaginative land of winged swords and broken solar cells.' – SFX
‘The Vagrant is a joy to read: an original and engrossing world, a strong story and a protagonist who is intensely charismatic despite – or because of – his silence. Newman’s debut is written with confidence, flair and imagination, bringing his dark world to marvellously macabre life’
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Author of Shadows of the Apt series
‘A stunning and ambitious debut novel set in a unique and imaginative world where the only hope rests on the capacity of human beings to love’ Melinda M. Snodgrass

Goat was amazing.
Not sure if its a good or bad sign that my favourite character was a normal Goat. Ambitions ideas, but it just felt like most of it missed the mark.

An extraordinary novel
This book stands shoulder to shoulder with the best fantasy novels written. The imagery is vivid, the story gripping, the characters unforgettable. The writing is complex and challenging but the pacing is precisely managed so the book is compelling. There is a sense of wonder that few authors achieve, and the mystery of the world lingers after the story ends. While a very dark novel, the author skillfully preserves a glimmer of hope throughout, sometimes in the most unlikely ways. This really is an extraordinary novel.
