1912 márciusában a Föld történelme új irányt vett. Bekövetkezett a Csoda, és Európa addig ismert formájában megszűnt létezni. A helyén megjelent Darwinia, egy új kontinens tele ismeretlen növényekkel és állatokkal, elképzelhetetlen veszélyekkel és fantasztikus titkokkal.A környező vidékekről expedíciók indulnak a felderítésére, többek között a vallási fundamentalisták hatalmába került Amerikából is, mely újra el akarja vinni a civilizációt e friss Újvilág vadkeletére. Az expedícióba jelentkezik Guilford Law, a fiatal fényképész, aki gyermekkorában átélte a Csoda bekövetkeztét, és most különös álmok kísértik. Álmok, melyek mindenre magyarázatot adhatnak, talán még létezésünk alapkérdéseire is.A kanadai sztárszerző újabb regénye az izgalmakat halmozva gondolkodtat el világunk törékenységéről, valóságunk viszonylagos voltáról. A mű megjelenését követően elnyerte az Aurora-díjat, és a Hugo-jelöltek közé is beválogatták."Mintha Stephen Kinget, Michael Moorcockot, Philip K. Dicket és H. P. Lovecraftot olvasnánk egybegyúrva. Mindemellett a mű bámulatosan koherens."- Publishers Weekly"Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne és H. G. Wells legjobb hagyományait követi. Letehetetlen!"- Toronto Globe and Mail, Könyv - Szépirodalom - Sci-fi, fantasy, krimi.

adventure,alternate history,contemporary,historical fiction,literature and fiction,science fiction,science fiction and fantasy, Darwinia: A Novel of a Very Different Twentieth Century, In 1912, the entire European continent and all of the United Kingdom mysteriously vanished during the Miracle, replaced by an alien landscape known as Darwinia. Darwinia seems to be a slice of another Earth, one that diverged from our own millions of years ago and took a separate evolutionary path. As a 14-year-old boy, Guilford Law witnessed the Miracle as shimmering lights playing across the ocean sky. Now as a grown man, he is determined to travel to Darwinia and explore its mysteries. To that end he enlists as a photographer in the Finch expedition, which plans to steam up the Rhine (or what was once the Rhine) and penetrate the continent's hidden depths as far as possible. But Law has brought an unwanted companion with him, a mysterious twin who seems to have lived--and died--on an Earth unchanged by the Miracle. The twin first appears to Guilford in dreams, and he brings a message that Darwinia is not what it seems to be--and Guilford is not who he seems to be. --Craig Engler.
