Oscar winning director Guillermo del Toro (THE SHAPE OF WATER, PAN’S LABYRINTH) called Moody’s 2009 novel HATER “a head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st century”. After tearing the human race in two in HATER and its critically acclaimed sequels DOG BLOOD and THEM OR US, Moody’s paying a return visit to his ultra-violent dystopian world with the release of THE FINAL WAR – a trilogy of new HATER stories.
ALL ROADS END HERE is the follow-up to 2017’s ONE OF US WILL BE DEAD BY MORNING. This new entry exists in the same place and time as the second book in the first trilogy, DOG BLOOD. “It’s allowed me to describe events readers will be familiar with, but from a completely new perspective,” Moody explains. “There are two sides to every story, but those same stories can only ever have one ending. I’ve taken everything people thought they knew about HATER and turned it on its head.”
The long-gestating HATER movie is now in active development. The final novel CHOKEHOLD (released on 19 November) brings this epic, blood-soaked, six book dystopian saga to a dramatic conclusion.
ALL ROADS END HERE is available now from St Martin’s Press
It’s taken Matthew Dunne almost three months to get home. Never more than a few metres from the enemy at any time, every single step has been fraught with danger. But he’s made it.
In his absence, his home city has become a sprawling, walled-off refugee camp. But the camp – and the entire world beyond its borders – is balanced on a knife-edge. During his time in the wilderness, Matt developed a skill which is in high demand: the ability to anticipate and predict Hater behaviour. It’s this skill that will thrust him into a web of subterfuge and danger. As the pressure mounts inside the camp, he finds himself under scrutiny from all sides.
He’s always done his best to avoid trouble, but sometimes it can’t be helped. The shit’s about to hit the fan, and this time Matt’s right at the epicentre.
