Patrick Ness makes a return to the Chaos Walking world with a new trilogy
"Something is coming. From an inconceivable interstellar distance away, something is coming that is about to commit an unspeakable crime. Who can stop them? What chance does our narrator and his friends have against an enemy so vast?
"Fortunately, his family knows something about saving the world against impossible odds. His parents are named Todd and Viola."
Ness said: “I never planned on returning to Chaos Walking, genuinely. I thought the story was finished. And it was. Until a pesky idea kept surfacing. I could see it, and I could see where it should be set, and I could see who it should be about. I actually tried to resist it, because I always want to be absolutely sure I’m never repeating myself. But it wouldn’t go away. And this trilogy is about the world now, just as Chaos Walking was about the world in
"As a writer, I’ve always said I must go where the ideas lead or I have no chance at all of writing anything good. This idea made demands. And then it grew. I didn’t expect to be back here, but wow, it feels thrilling.”
Johnstone-Burt added: “When I acquired the Chaos Walking trilogy, 18 year
