The Sunday Times bestseller with an amazing main character that exudes Bisexual energy!
A stunning science fiction debut, The Space Between Worlds is both a cross-dimensional adventure and a powerful examination of identity, privilege, and belonging.
'My mother used to say I was born reaching, which is true. She also used to say it would get me killed, which it hasn't. Not yet, anyway.'
Born in the dirt of the wasteland, Cara has fought her entire life just to survive. Now she has done the impossible, and landed herself a comfortable life on the lower levels of the wealthy and walled-off Wiley City. So long as she can keep her head down and avoid trouble, she's on a sure path to citizenship and security - on this world, at least.
Of the 380 realities that have been unlocked, Cara is dead in all but 8.
Cara's parallel selves are exceptionally good at dying - from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn't outrun - which makes Cara wary, and valuable. Because while multiverse travel is possible, no one can visit a world in which their counterpart is still alive. And no one has fewer counterparts than Cara.
But then one of her eight doppelgängers dies under mysterious circumstances, and Cara is plunged into a new world with an old secret. What she discovers will connect her past and future in ways she never could have imagined - and reveal her own role in a plot that endangers not just her earth, but the entire multiverse.
"Johnson's debut is a rare bird in any reality: a novel that is twisting, suspenseful, and profound"
Max Gladstone, co-author of the Hugo and Nebula-winning THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR
"Profoundly satisfying . . . [it] remained two steps ahead of my imagination, rattling it out of complacency and flooding it with colour and heat"
The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice
"A gritty, riveting, and ultimately hopeful novel about the people, choices, and relationships who make us who we are - in this world, and in those we can only imagine"
Kameron Hurley, Hugo and Locus award-winning author of The Light Brigade
"A strong new voice in science fiction"
Sunday Times Culture
"Fascinating, complicated, compelling . . . this is a jewel of a novel, all the more impressive for being Johnson's debut"
Locus
"Clever characters, surprise twists, plenty of action, and a plot that highlights social and racial inequities in astute prose"
Library Journal Starred Review
"Johnson bursts onto the scene with this thought-provoking, high-concept sci-fi debut that impresses with exceptional worldbuilding and a distinctive protagonist"
Publishers Weekly
"Johnson excels at contrasting lives of privilege and poverty, and at drip-feeding information that gradually reveals Cara's complex character"
Guardian
"A dark, provocative read that's both challenging and satisfying"
