EXPECT ME TOMORROW

RELEASED OUT NOW!

336 pages Hardback/ebook/ audiobook

Author Christopher Priest

Publisher Gollancz

His brother, Adolf, an aspiring opera singer, travels the world. Meanwhile, in 2050, where global heating is causing environmental disaster, Charles Ramsey is a police profiler. His twin Greg is a reporter specialising in the climate. Then there's petty thief John Smith, jailed in 1877 for a series of cruel frauds.

How are these people linked? Teasing out ties that reach across time, the latest offering from Christopher Priest initially seems oblique even by the standards of a novelist whose books so often reveal themselves gradually. That in itself is quite remarkable considering Expect Me Tomorrow is a relatively slim novel, written in spare prose.
