The Seventh Son cover

'Genuinely thought-provoking’ THE TIMES
'Extraordinary' WILLIAM BOYD

‘Faulksis an enviably graceful and economical writer’ GUARDIAN


A CHILD WILL BE BORN WHO WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING

Tech billionaire Lukas Parn has an ambitious plan. Behind the doors of the IVF clinic in his London institute, a daring switch is made. Young academic Talissa Adam believes she is simply carrying a child for a grateful family, but the baby inside her is different from any living human. The boy, Seth, grows up unaware, though his parents not that he’s different: he can’t make plans, is unaware of danger and seems to have at least one extra sense. But as Seth becomes a man, the truth about him is revealed and the world starts to hunt him down.
‘ [An] unsettling book from one of our most popular novelists; it’s also one of his best’ FINANCIAL TIMES
‘His greatest novel yet' ANTONY BEEVOR
'Profoundly moving . . . a wonderful and life-affirming love story' JAMES HOLLAND
'Original and enthralling' PETER JAMES

This is a genuinely thought-provoking piece of fiction. You could devour it in a day and be wholly transported into the near future, then set it back down, dazed but enlightened, in the present day where you will see the world anew in all its wonders and frailties * The Times *
A stunning novel: profoundly moving, deeply unsettling, thought-provoking and prescient but also a wonderful and life-affirming love story too -- James Holland
Once I had started I literally could not stop. It really is his greatest novel yet, and of course beautifully written in that wonderful, understated style -- Antony Beevor
Faulks is one of the most original and compelling writers in the world. This enthralling novel is right up there among his very finest work -- Peter James
A completely fascinating and extraordinary novel. A profound and moving examination of our complex human nature -- William Boyd
