Description

NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX FILM STARRING ADAM SANDLER AND CAREY MULLIGAN

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD FOR SCIENCE FICTION

'An incredible experience . . . unforgettable' Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies

'An excellent debut' The Times

'Booming with vitality and originality' New York Times

Set in the near-distant future, Spaceman follows a Czech astronaut as he launches into space to investigate a mysterious dust cloud covering Venus, a suicide mission sponsored by a proud nation. Suddenly a world celebrity, Jakub's marriage starts to fail as the weeks go by, and his sanity comes into question. After his mission is derailed he must make a violent decision that will force him to come to terms with his family's dark political past.

An extraordinary vision of the endless human capacity to persist-and risk everything-in the name of love and home, by a startlingly talented young debut novelist.
