Travelling Without Moving

0/5 ( ratings)

A fast-paced adventure through a world like no other, following unique, quirky characters on the journey of their lifetime. Plenty of novels are set in domes, but none are as colourful, spellbinding, and inventive as Travelling Without Moving.

Earth is in ruins, uninhabitable, and the remaining population live in bio-domes. A Roman tribesman, Napalm Carton, believes that life in his clockwork habitat is some kind of lie. A trap, or a construct, or an experiment gone wrong, whatever. Post-apocalyptic existence makes no sense to him, and all he wants to do is escape to the reality beyond the dome of lies.

Spurred on by visions, Napalm creates a multiplayer game called tickets, with the intention of opening a door to the next level of existence. He needs the help of his sceptical friends, but first, he has to convince them that the tickets are more than a game. He also needs to confirm his suspicions that someone or something is trying to steal his invention before it’s game over for everyone.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Travelling Without Moving is […] is like The Matrix on drugs, on a roller coaster. Its setting is so vivid it becomes like a character in itself. But Jones' writing keeps things grounded and relatable, even in this mind-bending setting. That's why this book works.”

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Off-the-wall names, buttery smooth dialogue, and mind-bending twists make Traveling Without Moving a superbly written SCI-FI piece.”
