For many years he has ranked amongst the finest writers of dark fiction in the world and “ The Listener” sits comfortably with his unmatchable body of work. Many genre publishers are currently avoiding vampires and werewolves like the plague, but when McCammon approaches well-worn subjects you just know the product will be something fresh and unique.

Across these time zones his novels feature werewolves, vampires, witches and a unique blend of historical thriller. This author really is a one-off, since 2014 he has written novels set in periods as differing as the Second World War, America in the 1700s, America in the 1860s and a version of today in which Earth is destroyed by two warring alien races. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.The enigmatic Robert McCammon continues a literary path which remains almost impossible to categorise or pigeonhole with his latest novel “ The Listener”, a truly superb supernatural thriller set in the Great Depression of 1930s America. A major new novel from the unparalleled imagination of Robert McCammon, this dark epic of survival will both thrill listeners and make them fall in love with his work all over again.

Those same powers make Ethan a threat to the warring aliens, long used to fearing only each other, and thrust him and his comrades into ever more perilous circumstances. Into these desperate circumstances comes an amnesiac teenaged boy who names himself Ethan-a boy who must overcome mistrust and suspicion to master unknowable powers that may prove to be the last hope for humanity's salvation. The world itself has turned against the handful of survivors, as one by one they succumb to despair and suicide or, even worse, are transformed by otherworldly pollution into hideous Gray Men, cannibalistic mutants driven by insatiable hunger. But it is not just the living ships of the monstrous Gorgons or the motion-blurred shock troops of the armored Cyphers that endanger the holdouts in the human bastion of Panther Ridge.

World Fantasy Award-winning, bestselling author Robert McCammon makes a triumphant return to the epic horror and apocalyptic tone reminiscent of his books Swan Song and Stinger in this gripping new novel, The Border, a saga of an Earth devastated by a war between two marauding alien civilizations.
