'The very human story of the end of the world, and what happens after. A compelling and haunting read' ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY ‘Part apocalyptic thriller and part family drama, Not with a Bang is a deeply compelling tale set at the end of the world as we know it. Oh explores complex relationships with wit and enormous empathy. Every time I thought I knew a character inside and out, yet another layer was revealed; few books will keep you on your toes the way this one does. Thought-provoking, ambitious, and full of love – despite the horrors’ KEMI ASHING-GIWA, author of The Splinter in the Sky 'A cinematic, thrilling take on the apocalypse and a deeply moving portrait of a family losing and finding each other. Temi Oh writes my favourite kind of science fiction: grounded in the human, reaching for the stars' CATRIONA SILVEY, author of Meet Me in Another Life 'The best end of the world novel I’ve read, and I’ve read a lot of them' PETER F. HAMILTON, author of Pandora's Star 'Be warned: once you start reading this, it will take over your life until you've reached the final page. Temi Oh ratchets up the tension in this brilliant apocalyptic novel with exquisite, horrifying realism. A fantastic combination of family dynamics, flawed yet sympathetic characters and cult mentality make this story of an extraordinary disaster utterly compelling' EMMA NEWMAN, author of Planetfall ‘Not With A Bang is the third book from Temi Oh, who is fast building an estimable reputation in SF circles. Here, she delivers a book that feels like one of John Wyndham’s cosy catastrophes given a contemporary twist for a culturally very different Britain, with a bit of US post-apocalyptic TV series vibe (The Leftovers, Station Eleven) thrown in' SFX MAGAZINE 'I found myself sucked into this addictive family drama in which the characters feel like real, breathing human beings with their own idiosyncrasies and fatal flaws… The promise of the world’s end is fulfilled in brutal, shocking fashion' HANA LEE, author of Road to Ruin 'Told in a confident, lyrical voice with a sharp focus on characters and society, this narrative reveals that no matter how alien the circumstances, we will always be human. An out-of-this-world tale grounded in day-to-day realities' KIRKUS (STARRED REVIEW)
