Juice
Longlisted for the Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
One of the Guardian's best sci-fi books of the year.
An epic post-apocalyptic thriller, perfect for fans of "Station Eleven" and "The Road," from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton.
"A hold-your-breath adventure . . . 'Juice' will stab your conscience and break your heart" - Emma Donoghue, author of "Room."
Survival is only the beginning.
Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. They're exhausted, traumatized, desperate now. This is a forsaken place, but as a refuge it's the most promising they've seen. The child peers at the field of desolation. The man thinks to himself, this could work.
Problem is, they're not alone.
So begins a searing journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it's keeping your humanity if you do.
"A blistering cli-fi epic" - the Guardian
