From the visionary mind behind The Passage trilogy comes The Ferryman—a sweeping, emotionally charged epic that blends speculative science fiction, mystery, and literary depth into an unforgettable reading experience.

Set on a seemingly peaceful island society, the story follows Prospera, where lives are orderly, death is managed, and ferrymen guide citizens to their final transition. But when cracks begin to appear in this carefully controlled world, one ferryman is forced to confront forbidden truths about memory, identity, love, and what it truly means to be human.

As secrets unravel and the boundaries between life, death, and rebirth blur, The Ferryman evolves into a powerful meditation on freedom, sacrifice, and survival—delivering the same emotional weight, rich world-building, and high-stakes storytelling that made Justin Cronin a global bestseller.

Perfect for readers who love:

• The Passage Trilogy

• Thought-provoking science fiction with depth

• Epic, character-driven speculative novels

• Fans of Station Eleven, Cloud Atlas, and The Road

Bold, intelligent, and deeply moving, The Ferryman confirms Justin Cronin as one of the most compelling voices in modern speculative fiction.
