I wasn’t disappointed, but I was a little surprised, as I’d expected something more akin to The Three. Lotz has easily become one of my favourite authors.ĭay Four is quite different from The Three. For one thing, it is presented in a more ‘conventional’ style: a prose narrative, rather than a series of articles, letters, transcripts, etc., which Lotz handled with masterful skill in the previous book.

The solo Three Universe sequence beginning with The Three ( 2014) hints that the Disasters in the air – and in the sequel Day Four ( 2015) aboard a Ship of Fools cruise ship – may augur the End of the World. Two collaborative S L Grey singletons followed: the mixed protagonists of Under Ground ( 2015) must attempt to reach a bunker Underground in Near Future Maine as a Pandemic rages above, and then deal with each other The Apartment ( 2016) is nonfantastic, though hints of supernatural oppressiveness permeate the titular residence.
