At times sublime, strange and deeply human'' Adrian Tchaikovsky, bestselling author of the Children of Time seriesSiberia, 2031. After a virus, unearthed from melting permafrost, unleashes a deadly plague upon humanity, those left alive are forced to adapt to a new world, and do so in myriad moving and inventive ways.

A story of unshakeable hope that seamlessly crosses literary lines, How High We Go in the Dark follows a cast of intricately linked characters spanning hundreds of years as humankind endeavours to restore the delicate balance of the world.Wonderful and disquieting, dreamlike and all too possible.
