Reviews

A beautiful futuristic fable with huge power to haunt and disturb -- M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts The Ship is tense, engaging and emotionally charged: I devoured this novel -- Helen Dunmore An outstanding read from a strikingly original new talent. The Ship takes us on a luxury voyage into the future with a chosen elite - but the passengers don't know where they're going, and there's a dissenter on board. A brilliant, disturbing book that makes you question everything about the way we live now. -- Maggie Gee It's haunted me since I finished it. RICHARD EYRE 'A hugely gripping depiction of a future world, The Ship is all the more chilling for its sense of authenticity. Honeywell has written a story that will make you question the value we place on love and freedom and what we'd be willing to sacrifice for those precious commodities ourselves. I couldn't put it down' -- Kerry Hudson, author of Thirst A disturbing story from a bright new talent -- Salley Vickers Addictive and thought-provoking ELLE
