A thrilling chase-cum-travelogue through a beautifully depicted
Antarctic wonderland... an impressively vast story in a short
punchy novel. * GUARDIAN *
It is one of the best post-climate change novels yet written - and
one of McAuley's best books. * SFX MAGAZINE *
A chase thriller set in late 21st-century Antarctica that combines
elements of Jack London,J.G. Ballard and William Gibson. A
significant contribution to writing about the anthropocene. * THE
ECONOMIST *
McAuley is a nature poet of imaginary lands . * LOCUS *
A haunting and engaging piece of science fiction that is every bit
as good a piece of writing as the best literary fiction. * POPULAR
SCIENCE *
Austral combines a solid science scenario with a taught
thriller in an all too plausible future. For an SF reader, or
indeed any reader that considers matters beyond the day after
tomorrow, what is there not to like? * CONCATENATION *
Austral is a beautifully written novel, which portrays in
stark and stunning terms the new frontier of Antarctica. * FOR
WINTERS NIGHTS *
Deeply sad and tender. * James Bradley, author of Clade *
Cli-fi transcendent.
An exquisite human story set on an undiscovered continent of our
near future.
Austral may be McAuley's best yet. And the best near-future novel
yet written.
Paul McAuley has quickened science fiction. The future has
changed.
