The mind-bending new masterpiece from the multi-award-winning author of Apple TV's smash hit literary adaptation SHINING GIRLS, starring Elizabeth Moss. 'Addictive, fascinating and compelling page-turner' - Guardian 'A high-concept page-turner' - The Herald 'Beukes puts cerebral propositions into breakneck thrillers' - The Spectator -- Bridge's maverick scientist mother Jo is dead. Now she's examining everything Jo left behind. Which is when she finds her big secret. Is it a drug? A gateway to other worlds? Jo believed so. Bridge is desperate to see her mother again. Will do anything, risk anything. Including search for her in those other realities. What she doesn't know is that others are after Jo's secret. And some believe anyone it touches must be destroyed. Bridge? She just wants to find her mom ... Page-turning and ambitious, BRIDGE is a dazzlingly inventive speculative thriller with an unforgettable cast of characters, and the work of a novelist at the height of her powers. -- 'You can tell Beukes is having an absolute blast putting words on the page. Her fun is evident in the big, bloody action sequences; in the squirmy, almost retro grotesqueness of the dreamworm.' - The New York Times 'An addictive, fascinating and compelling page-turner. With an original take on the many worlds theory.' Guardian 'Complex, challenging, gripping and thought-provoking. A morally thorny tale without clear-cut heroes or villains. Beukes does a skilful job of balancing desperate but very relatable hope.' - SFX

An addictive, fascinating and compelling page-turner. With an original take on the many worlds theory. * Guardian * A high-concept page-turner * The Herald * Beukes puts cerebral propositions into breakneck thrillers * The Spectator * Excellent * Scotland on Sunday * You can tell Beukes is having an absolute blast putting words on the page. Her fun is evident in the big, bloody action sequences; in the squirmy, almost retro grotesqueness of the dreamworm. * The New York Times * Bridge is a step into the offbeat, an imaginative stew of ingredients: neuroscience and parasitology, musical theory and Haitian Voudou. * Elle * Complex, challenging, gripping and thought-provoking. A morally thorny tale without clear-cut heroes or villains. Beukes does a skilful job of balancing desperate but very relatable hope. * SFX * A blend of sci-fi and thriller . . . I can highly recommend * Alison Flood, New Scientist * Lauren Beukes' multiverse is thrilling-balancing madness, horror, and a big, bleeding, beating heart that reminds us that we are all connected in the end * Grady Hendrix * I absolutely loved it. This fantastic high-wire act of a novel, accelerating to a heart-stopping climax, is at once a cosmic narrative on a grand scale and a deeply intimate human story. Bravo! * Catriona Ward, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Last House on Needless Street * Bridge spiders out into alternate universes, alternate selves, yet manages to be very much about us and our fractured now. It's a humane, thought-provoking puzzle box, and a wildly entertaining novel * Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Pallbearers Club * Vast in scope and heart, Bridge is both a thrilling exploration of the known universe and an intimate portrayal of a daughter's yearning for her mother. Lauren Beukes has crafted a suspenseful, deeply immersive odyssey that will make you consider the alternate possibilities inside us all. A perfect summer read. * Katie Gutierrez, author of More Than You'll Ever Know * Lauren Beukes takes a story filled with psychedelic drugs, parallel worlds, and neuroscience and makes it also about a complex mother-daughter relationship, full of darkness, light, and longing. This is fun and insane and very moving * Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of Night * What if our dreams are twisted-up memories? What if the Mandela Effect isn't an effect at all? Somewhere between The Lathe of Heaven and Everything Everywhere All at Once is Lauren Beukes' Bridge: it's not just reality that's multifold, it's identity. Bridge challenges our sense of reality, chips away at our conception of the self, and shoves us down a slide of our own paranoia. But, it's Lauren Beukes-this is what she does, isn't it? * Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians * Thrilling, complex, and pulse-pounding. Beukes handles the balance between action and emotion brilliantly, this is speculative fiction of the highest calibre * Big Issue * Praise for Lauren Beukes * : * A stand-out chase thriller. How can you not fall in love with this book? -- Stephen King A major, major talent -- George RR Martin Very, very good. It feels effortless. Utterly accomplished -- William Gibson A powerful thriller - imaginative, disturbing, tense, compelling reading * The Times * Dark, relentless, time-twisting, page-turning ... it shines -- Matt Haig Powerful and intelligent * Guardian * A ripping tale that neither shies away from big questions nor interesting answers * New Scientist *
