Terry Hayes, author of the #1 global bestseller I Am Pilgrim, returns with a terrifying and eagerly awaited new thriller.
If, like Kane, you’re a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA, then boundaries have no meaning. Your function is to go in, do whatever is required, and get out again—by whatever means necessary. You know when to run, when to hide—and when to shoot.
But some places don’t play by the rules. Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane’s experience. The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan meet are such a place—a place where violence is the only way to survive.
Kane travels there to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West—but instead he meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction. A frightening, clever, vicious man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart...

First off, if you haven't read I Am Pilgrim, stop everything and order it immediately! (Spoilers ahead.)
This book offers a fantastic blend of what we loved in I Am Pilgrim while introducing a fresh twist—Terry Hayes weaves in elements of fantasy and sci-fi. It’s just as gripping, just as much of a page-turner (if that’s even a word).
Imagine a retired, being brought back in agent going head-to-head with a villainous terrorist, while dealing with body transformations caused by space stones affecting his system. There’s time travel, a touch of love and family, and those moments where you can truly see yourself in certain situations. I could go on forever.
Note: As a die-hard I Am Pilgrim fan, I had to adjust to the sci-fi elements in The Year of the Locust. It took me longer to finish because I struggled with the new direction, but ultimately, I loved it. It’s an incredible book.
Terry Hayes, please write more!
