Synopsis

From Andrew Caldecott, the bestselling author of ROTHERWEIRD, comes the jaw-dropping conclusion of the MOMENTICON duology - an epic adventure like no other!

'Remember Simul' - the last words of a dying man, and the key to mankind's survival.

Words which take Morag, Fogg and their friends on a wild ride through caverns and over mountains, into old paintings, to a university unlike any other and up the lethal Tower of No Return. A ride where mythical beasts, legendary monster-hunters and a corrupt establishment lie in wait . . . while the weather-watchers look on and bide their time.

It's a race against extinction too . . . for nature herself is bent on vengeance.

Goodreads review by Robert on December 20, 2023

Simul is the second and final volume of Andrew Caldecott’s second series which began with Momenticon. Suffice to say that if you have not read Momenticon, this second volume, even with its glossary of people and places at the back, is no place to start. To the point where even the description of the......more


Quotes

Special and dangerous properties . . . opens a series of trap-doors in the readers' imagination Hilary Mantel, Booker prize winning author, on Rotherweird

Whimsical science fiction at its finest. A satisfying jigsaw where the bigger picture doesn't become visible until the final piece is slotted into place Geek Dad on Momenticon

It feels non-stop: constantly splitting the protagonists up and bringing them together again, delivering a series of growing climaxes and then leaving readers hanging for a concluding second volume Pile by the Bed on Momenticon

One of the most unique books I've read . . . a compelling and enrapturing story that captures the reader from the first page to the last Grimdark Magazine on Momenticon

Has the arbitrary and rather hallucinogenic atmosphere of the Alice in Wonderland books British Science Fiction Association on Momenticon

A book that is unlike anything else you have read SF Book Reviews on Momenticon

Caldecott successfully creates an equally engaging and original a world as Rotherweird. Highly recommended. Goodreads reviewer on Momenticon

Momenticon is a perplexing and brilliant story full of literary and artistic rabbit holes and quirky characters. It ends on a cliffhanger and I want to continue this journey for sure. Goodreads reviewer on Momenticon

I'm not sure there are enough words that can accurately describe this weird, brilliant, funny and adventurous read. Goodreads reviewer on Momenticon

A rip-roaring adventure through a brilliantly weird and wonderful dystopian landscape. I can't imagine what'll happen in the next book but I can't wait to find out! Goodreads reviewer on Momenticon
