**CHRISTINA DALCHER'S GRIPPING NEW THRILLER THE SENTENCE IS AVAILABLE NOW!**

'Terrifyingly plausible' Louise Candlish
'Devastating and brilliant' Woman & Home
'Thought-provoking' Alice Feeney
'Shocking . . . A powerful tale' Cosmopolitan
'Timely' Kia Abdullah

IN THIS WORLD, PERFECTION IS EVERYTHING.

It begins as a way to make things fairer. An education system that will benefit everyone. It's all in the name of progress.

This is what Elena Fairchild believes. As a teacher in one of the government's elite schools for children with high 'Q' scores, she witnesses the advantages first-hand.

But when Elena's own daughter scores lower than expected, she is taken away. Elena follows her to her new home. A government institute.

What she finds there makes Elena question everything. Because this world is about perfection - and that comes at a terrible price.

About the Author

Christina Dalcher is the Sunday Times bestselling author of VOX.

She and her husband split their time between the American South and Naples, Italy. Q is her second novel.



Reviews

'It's hard to tell if this book is truly a work of fiction or a horrific glance at reality' Prima

'Like all the best dystopian fiction, Q takes the reader just a pace or two beyond where we're already at. This is a sharply written and terrifyingly plausible tale of an education system where less than perfect is a life-threatening condition... I devoured it in a single day.' Louise Candlish

'Shocking...a powerful tale exploring themes of survival and superficiality.' Cosmopolitan

'Christina Dalcher is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. It's a master class in dark dystopian fiction, clever, thought-provoking, beautifully written, and terrifyingly believable.' Alice Feeney

''Powerful, devastating, shocking brilliant.' Woman & Home

'WHAT A BOOK. 'Shockingly, terrifyingly real - Christina Dalcher has got another bestseller on her hands.' Lisa Hall

'Orwell meets Atwood in Christina Dalcher's Q, a chilling look at how polite society can sleepwalk its way into horrifying atrocities. Timely, tense and frighteningly plausible, Q is an urgent clarion call against complacency.' Kia Abdullah

'Dalcher conjures an America informed by tragic elements of its past and present where science and humanity are both abused in ways that are all-too familiar and plausible. Her heroic women and tough yet elegant prose suggest Margaret Atwood updated for this moment.' Michael D'Antonio

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
