Reviews

Thrilling, terrifying and fascinating in equal measure. A gripping story of survival and human endeavour against all odds. The most thought-provoking book I've read in a long time
Crunchy, conceptual SF at its best . . . the best alien contact novel I've read since Peter Watts' Blindsight, and that is high praise indeed
. . . [Aldred] delivers a haunting, moody voice for Shroud as it ponders the inexplicable and stupid alien invaders. Her tight rendition of the women’s desperate trek amps up the tension, making this an addictive listen
Clever, vivid and terrifying. Shroud is probably the most alien world anyone could possibly imagine. But no one has an imagination like Adrian Tchaikovsky
