'The very human story of the end of the world, and what happens after. A compelling and haunting read'ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY ‘Part apocalyptic thriller and part family drama, Not with a Bang is a deeply compelling tale set at the end of the world as we know it. Oh explores complex relationships with wit and enormous empathy. Every time I thought I knew a character inside and out, yet another layer was revealed; few books will keep you on your toes the way this one does. Thought-provoking, ambitious, and full of love – despite the horrors’KEMI ASHING-GIWA, author of The Splinter in the Sky 'A cinematic, thrilling take on the apocalypse and a deeply moving portrait of a family losing and finding each other. Temi Oh writes my favourite kind of science fiction: grounded in the human, reaching for the stars' CATRIONA SILVEY, author of Meet Me in Another Life
