Our book of the month for April is the mighty Son of the Morning by Mark Alder. The best way to introduce it is via an edited letter from Simon,our Associate Publisher for Gollancz, which he penned to our Geeks earlier in the year (who you’ll be hearing more from later in the month) to bring them to this epic read.

A book I love so much that I simply haven’t been able to shut up about it since I was lucky enough to acquire it. I could go on about it again now, about the beautiful prose, about the stunning imagination, about how it taps into the deep…

It is a chilling dystopian work; a story about technology becomes a personal quest into a changed world and the pursuit of a secret from the past. A secret about a missing mother, a secret that could hide a murder.
