Description

Divided lands, divided minds, divided loyalties… In the fogs, nothing is clear

After battling with the fogs all night, the last thing El Morgan needed was to find a strange-looking baby lying like a sacrifice on the standing stones in the city park.

The capital of a newly independent Wales is a city under siege, smothered in thick fogs that sweep in at dusk and swirl around all night, disturbing people’s minds. El, a clinical psychologist, helps those worst affected by the fogs, while her sister, who’s just lost her own baby, cares for the abandoned infant. Meanwhile, Caradoc, an American neuroscientist, seeks a scientific explanation for the fogs while coping with florid hallucinations about his past life as a medieval saint. As the relentless fogs cut the city off from the rest of the world, resources become scarce, paranoia rises and the military argues for a counterattack on England.

The Night Fogs is a sharply topical, funny, satirical, and moving story that explores divisions between communities, friends, family members and even parts of ourselves.

Imagine a future not so distant where Wales and Scotland are independent nations and still trying to adapt to that situation. At the same time the distant past is trying to break through and the Celtic memory is alive and well in the body of an unsuspecting american scientist. Has the war come upon us, or is this a mere weather anomaly, or neither of the above?

It was an interesting book, a good story full of ingredients that are right up my alley. Fantasy meets sci-fi on a story that is consistent and well written, considering that this is the author's first book.
Recommended to all that like a good story, especially if it has a fantasy twist.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was highly original and quite different to anything else on the market at the moment.I also really liked the fact that having lived in Cardiff for over 20 years I knew most of the places mentioned and could picture them perfectly.having said that you can still enjoy this book even if you haven't a clue about the places mentioned.I could imagine a scenario like the one described in the book where Wales is independent and England are the enemy although I hope that never happens, but it was all too realistic in the book.I don't want to give anything away but essentially this is about a group of people working and living in extraordinary conditions with a bit of other worldly stuff thrown in and its pretty good, I would certainly look out for more books by this author in future and would like to thank the Publishers for an ARC.
