Lagoon

It's up to a famous rapper, a marine biologist, and a rogue soldier to handle humanity's first contact with an alien ambassador - and prevent mass extinction - in this masterful novel that blends magical realism with high-stakes action

Praise for Who Fears Death :

'A fantastical, magical blend of grand storytelling'

Beautifully written, this is dystopian fantasy at its very best,

Both wondrously magical and terribly realistic.
