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.

Special and dangerous properties . . . opens a series of trap-doors in the readers' imagination
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
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.
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!
Caldecott successfully creates an equally engaging and original a world as Rotherweird. Highly recommended.
Has the arbitrary and rather hallucinogenic atmosphere of the Alice in Wonderland books
I'm not sure there are enough words that can accurately describe this weird, brilliant, funny and adventurous read.
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
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
A book that is unlike anything else you have read
