PRAISE FOR JAMES BRADLEY "In Australia, there is no one like [Bradley] in the imagining of the imminent end time of the way we live now." Sydney Review of Books "James Bradley's lithe and inventive novels defiantly resist the present." The Australian "A magnificent writer" The Saturday Paper MORE PRAISE FOR THE SILENT INVASION "...While The Silent Invasion is fundamentally a thriller with a page-turning plot, it's also a measured, thoughtful exploration of survival in a landscape at once recognisable and unknown.
