"Thrillingā¦A topical and deftly satirical novel." āAnna Mundow,
Wall Street Journal
In this taut, dystopian tale, an island nation ravaged by the Change has built an enormous concrete barrier around its coastlineāthe Wall. Joseph Kavanagh, a new Defender, has one task: to protect his section of the Wall from the Others, the desperate souls trapped amid the rising seas outside. A blend of the most compelling issues of our timeāclimate change, increasing fear, widening divisionsā The Wall is a suspenseful story of love, trust, and survival.
