On the Edge of Doom

When Humanity Comes to End, Which Life is Worth Saving?
January 29, 2035

is the day the comet will hit the Earth. Denise, her mother and older sister Iris would go to a temporary shelter near their home in Amsterdam and wait out the apocalypse. But Iris was nowhere to be seen and her mother was completely high on drugs. They would never reach the shelter in time.

Thanks to a last-minute opportunity, it turns out they have a much better option than a temporary shelter: a generation ship making preparations to colonize a new planet when the Earth turns to ashes. How would autistic Denise find a place for herself and her family on a ship where every passenger must have useful abilities?

“Real-life characters, an adventure full of hope even in the middle of the apocalypse, and a science fiction that clings to life.”

- Kirkus Reviews, starred review -

“A work of a tense, shocking and powerful writer. Even when you close the book, you will not be able to get rid of its effect for a long time.”

- School Library Journal, starred review -

“The horrors Denise experiences are so real that Edge of Doom hovers on the borders of science fiction and thriller genres.”

- Booklist, starred review -

“An apocalyptic thriller that you will read with bated breath.”

- Publishers Weekly -

“It is so realistic that you will not be able to answer the questions about the value of human life and who is worth saving without swallowing.”
