Praise for Fever: An Indie Next Selection
An Amazon Best Book of the Month (Science Fiction and Fantasy)
"Multiple viewpoints and the non-linear nature of the passage of
time disorient the reader so we become ensnared and terrified
inside the unfolding drama, and sucked into this ravaged world
which Meyer crafts with the precision of a master storyteller . . .
Deon Meyer should be applauded for this brutal, unflinching tale of
the excesses of humanity coiled like a python around a
coming-of-age tale; one that makes one think deeply about the human
condition as it entertains as well as warns of the dangers ahead,
for our dark-side may be our undoing, as well as our salvation--for
we are all feral--given the right context."--Deadly Pleasures
Mystery Magazine "Meyer neatly integrates a whodunit into a
sophisticated postapocalyptic thriller set in South Africa . . .
Meyer effectively teases his ultimate reveal. Thoughtful character
development complements the clever storytelling."--Publishers
Weekly (starred review) "A thought-provoking, postapocalyptic
examination of the human condition . . . With its stunning final
revelation, this is a remarkable literary achievement."--Booklist
"[A] sweeping epic about a young Afrikaner boy's survival in a
post-apocalyptic South Africa . . . The book is part ecological
warning, part thriller . . . part adventure saga . . and part
coming-of-age story . . . Gripping moments and a haunting
atmosphere."--Kirkus Reviews "Tense, intriguing, and surprising,
this thriller is a solid choice for readers who enjoy
well-researched and detailed survival stories."--Karin Thogersen,
Library Journal "Reminiscent of The Stand and The Passage. Great
stuff."--Stephen King "I have been a Deon Meyer fan for some time.
Fever is an interesting departure for him . . . and I loved
it."--Thomas Perry "Fever is one of the best books of the year.
Deon Meyer is a masterful writer and has created a stunning epic
that brims with emotion. The mystery, thrills, and action kept me
riveted to every page. Highly recommended."--Adam Hamdy, author of
Pendulum "Fever bears comparison with landmarks in the genre such
as The Stand . . . The novel explores humanity at its best and
worst; the crushing loss of civilisation with everything that means
for the structure of society . . . This great book asks us to
reflect on our own hidden natures--how would we react if the world
we knew came to an end tomorrow?"--Vaseem Khan, author of The
Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra "Emotional and
atmospheric . . . There are shades of Cormac McCarthy's superb The
Road, but Fever grips even more."--Times (UK) "Compelling,
action-packed and fraught with emotion. At its heart it is a
powerful exploration of humanity at its best and worst and bears
favourable comparison with landmarks of the genre such as Stephen
King's The Stand and Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Simply
stunning."--Daily Express (UK) "Deon Meyer should be applauded for
this brutal, unflinching tale of the excesses of humanity coiled
like a python around a coming-of-age tale; one that makes one think
deeply about the human condition as it entertains as well as warns
of the dangers ahead . . . Miss this insightful thriller at your
peril, because as crime thrillers go, this is the big summer read
of 2017."--Shotsmag (UK) "Moving and gripping."--South China
