Synopsis

THE TOP TEN TIMES BESTSELLER
A FINANCIAL TIMES 'BEST BOOKS OF SUMMER 2025'

'An excellent, inventive novel' Financial Times

'The Expanded Earth is a wonderfully sustained celebration of human ingenuity' Irish Times

'I loved the fantastic, horrifying, heartwarming, mind-boggling adventure of it' Emma Hooper

Humankind has been reduced to the height of a handspan.
Many do not survive the sudden transformation.
This is the story of those who do.

Frightened and awed in his new body, Giles embarks on a quest across a wildly altered landscape in search of his loved ones, hoping that for all its perils, this new world might offer a chance of redemption.

Elsewhere, deep in the ocean, the spectre of an ancient godlike force stirs, and catastrophe inches closer and closer still.

Welcome to the micropocalypse. Welcome to The Expanded Earth.
