The explosive conclusion to critically acclaimed author James Bradley's bestselling Change Trilogy. The Earth is dead. The fury of Firestorm has killed billions and left the planet barren and lifeless. Reborn on an alien world billions of miles from home, Callie founds herself impossibly alone. But as she fights to survive, she discovers she may not be the only one who has been remade, and that the key to finally defeating the Change may require her to find her way home. And to face something worse than death. Praise for The Silent Invasion: "A vivid novel that will leave readers itching for the next instalment."Cameron Woodhead, The Sydney Morning Herald "While it's fundamentally a thriller with a page-turning plot, it's also a measured, thoughtful exploration of survival in a landscape at once recognisable and unknown. With its timeless themes of identity, connection and love, this is a gripping read for teens and adults alike." Carody Culver, Books and Publishing "A gripping read... and one that deserves to be eagerly devoured by its target audience."The Saturday Paper "The Silent Invasion reminded me of some of the great science fiction books of my own adolescence, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle and The Giver by Lois Lowry."Kate Forsyth Praise for The Buried Ark: "As I was reading The Buried Ark, I couldn't help but admire Bradley's eye for story. It's not just that he doesn't waste a word, or ensures that every scene progresses the plot, it's that he finds the balance between plot, character, and theme. Throughout the novel, just when the story is beginning to level off, Bradley will change direction, or up the ante... leading to one humdinger of a cliffhanger."Ian Mond, Locus "An action-filled novel with a fearless, determined protagonist, compelling characters and unexpected allegiances."Connie Spanos, Kids Book Review "A dark sci-fi thriller, and a real page-turner."
