Summary
Shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick Award
The Book of Koli begins a breathtakingly original new trilogy set in a strange and deadly world of our own making.
Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognisable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, the Shunned men will.
Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls.
He's wrong.

Great narrator and really compelling story
Loved it, easy to listen to as all in first person and follows one main character. Post apocalyptic but a small story about a single person's place in the world, set in west yorkshire of all places, loved hearing the local place names. Going to go and get book 2 straight away.
Narrators voice sounded a bit dull at first but he is perfect for the story and has great range when performing other characters the lead interacts with.
Have already recommended this to multiple friends who like a lo fi sci fi, post apoc type story. Have read lots of mike carey's comics but this is first of his novels, will check out more.

Amazing
I’ve just finished listening to the trilogy for the 2nd time. I loved these books so much. The world M R Carey has created is amazing and the performances from the narrators is brilliant!

Looking forward to the next instalment
Really gripping start then a bit of a lull before the story picked right up again ... echoes of some of my favourite ever books, e.g., The Book of Dave (Will Self), The Second Sleep (Robert Harris), The Talisman (King & Straub), The Chrysalids (John Wyndham) - no wonder I liked this book so much ...
Absolutely brilliant narrator (at 1.25 speed), hope he reads the next instalments and other audiobooks, this couldn't have been an easy book to narrate ...
Only a couple of things niggle: the source of the cloves and the dimensions of everything hand-held ... can't say more due to spoilers ...
Oh, and a big welcome to Miss Justineau Mark 2???

A brilliant performance with a great story
The Book of Koli is an interesting tale of a maturing teenager set against a dystopian world. The story is beautifully written and engaging but the narrator is the star here - bringing the book to life with his voice.
