About this listen
***Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award***
*SUNDAY TIMES SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL OF THE YEAR*
'A novel that delights, dazzles and moves in equal measure' Financial Times
'Brutally satirical and grimly hilarious' Daily Mail
The venomous lumpsucker is the most intelligent fish on the planet. Or maybe it was the most intelligent fish on the planet. Because it might have just gone extinct. Nobody knows. And nobody really cares, either. Except for two people.
Mining executive Mark Halyard has a prison cell waiting for him if that fish is gone for good, and biologist Karin Resaint needs it for her own darker purposes. They don't trust each other an inch, but they're left with no choice but to team up in search of the lumpsucker. And as they journey across the strange landscapes of near-future Europe - a nature reserve full of toxic waste; a floating city on the Baltic Sea; the lethal hinterlands of a totalitarian state - they're drawn into a conspiracy far bigger than one ugly little fish.
'A laugh-out-loud novel about mass extinction (yes, really)' Sunday Times
'Confirms his reputation as one of the foremost satirists of his generation' The Times

An odyssey of our inevitable apocalypse
An entertaining romp through the apocalypse we've got dialled in.
Maybe a little heavy on the exposition in an early chapter or two, but otherwise pacy and funny.
Linear, but none the worse for it.
Well read with entertaining but not distracting accents employed, rendering the majority of "he said"s redundant.
perfect for gardening and travel.
thanks!

An excellent book
I really wasn't sure what to expect from the description but it far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this book.

Good but could have been great
wonderful premise, runs out of steam at the end. characters are rather two dimensional and the story arch ultimately goes nowhere.

Hmm
Good premise but long winded.
I think it’d be better as a book rather than audiobook.
