The Gatherers

By Neil Birnie

A stunning debut by new author Neil Birnie.

Praised by US readers, with 15 five-star reviews on Amazon.com.

In a world where everyone is immortal, where every desire is granted instantly and technology has erased suffering, humanity believes it has achieved true paradise. But perfection is a fragile illusion - and something has crossed into their universe to shatter it.

An ancient invader, drawn to the very life-essence that fuels their eternal existence, begins to feed. Immortality becomes a trap. Safety becomes a memory. And paradise becomes the perfect hunting ground.

Blending philosophy, consciousness, action, love, dark humour, and inventive technology, this explosive and intelligent novel introduces unforgettable characters and a universe unlike anything you've seen before.

A bold, original, can't-put-down read for fans of epic sci-fi, metaphysical adventure, futuristic worlds, alien threats, and thought-provoking storytelling.

Explosive. Intelligent. Original. A gripping exploration of what it truly means to be alive.
