I’ve just finished reading @ghostspecies.bsky.social novel Landfall. Loved it! Started it on Monday, couldn’t put it down. I don’t usually read crime fiction, but James Bradley is such a great writer that this crosses genres effortlessly. The depiction of a future Sydney is all too real.

I also just reviewed the compelling Australian crime fiction read, Landfall by @ghostspecies.bsky.social. An intriguing novel with a cool dystopian twist, Landfall was a great read that comes highly recommended. @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social unseenlibrary.com/2025/08/20/q...

My new novel, #Landfall, is published in Australia and the UK today by @penguin.com.au and @hodderbooks.bsky.social! It’s a crime thriller set 30 years from now in a Sydney transformed by climate catastrophe, and it follows a detective and her partner's desperate search for a missing girl.

Fantastic piece by @jockserong.bsky.social.
