There are no words to describe this third novel in the Chaos Walking series other than brilliant, shocking, astonishing and relentless. I have been reluctant because I am stunned by the writing, the incredible relentlessness of the battle between man and the Spackle, driven on by the malevolent President Prentiss and the rest of the inhabitants of this remote colony.

This is Todd and Viola’s story begun in Knife of Never letting Go and continued in Ask and the Answer. I have been hesitant to put pen to paper ever since I put down Monster of Men by Patrick Ness. "We hit the Spackle head on!" the Mayor shouts at the men, aiming his Noise right into the middle of everyone's heads.
