Revolution is a spark, and rage is the fire.

Faced with a coming apocalypse, a woman must reckon with her past to solve a series of sudden and inexplicable deaths in a searing sci-fi thriller from the author of The Space Between Worlds.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'A bold, beautiful, gut-punch of a story, at turns ferocious and poetic - and sometimes both at once.' (Veronica Roth, New York Times bestselling author of Chosen Ones)

'Reads like Mad Max: Fury Road was written by Philip K. Dick and N. K. Jemisin.' (CrimeReads)

'Those Beyond the Wall is a standout novel with painful clarity of voice; [it is] savage, yet humane. Micaiah Johnson has more than delivered on the promise of her exceptional first novel with a follow-up that is even more tightly plotted and more vividly characterized.' (Elizabeth Bear, Hugo Award-winning author of Ancestral Night)

'Those Beyond the Wall is an exploration of community and found family and what happens when the real enemy is a society that refuses to recognize the humanity of others. This book is a fierce love letter to everyone who has ever found themselves beyond the wall. Wonderful stuff, but I wouldn't expect any less from Micaiah Johnson.' (Sarah Pinsker, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author of Lost Places and A Song for a New Day)

'The characters in this unique world evolve both in their understanding of and place in the world throughout the novel. Johnson's riveting dystopian story carries thinly veiled messages stemming from the protests that swept the U.S. during the summer of 2020, the gritty setting reminding readers that this injustice can - and does - happen in reality. Those beyond the Wall will appeal to fans of classic sf that portrays parallels to current social issues.' (Booklist, starred review)
