A vibrant, whip-smart novel about one woman's quest to colonise Mars, Blue Giant is an unruly eulogy for millennial optimism. Perfect for fans of Halle Butler and Olivia Laing's Crudo.

Abby always believed she was destined for great things. But her dream career as an industry-disrupting fashion designer went up in smoke, and her aspirations to become a world-renowned yogi and/or save the endangered tigers proved equally fruitless.

She's in her early thirties, suffering the unbearable burdens of adulthood and anonymity, when she wakes up after a drunken bender with an all-new, all-consuming purpose in life: to be the first person on Mars.

Perfect timing - Danish tech entrepreneur Tor Skovgaard is currently recruiting for a one-way mission to colonise the red planet. Abby knows this is it: her last-ditch bid for purpose and glory. And if she can't be humanity's saviour... she'll settle for being its martyr.

Blue Giant is a deranged love letter to a generation torn between helplessness and selfishness and anyone who's ever paused their doom-scrolling to ponder their place in the vast universe.
