‘The best of both worlds: a literary page turner. I couldn’t put it down.’ -- <B>Chris Hammer, author of <I>The Valley</I></B> ‘Bri Lee’s expertly crafted novel is an urgent philosophical questioning of humanity and responsibility. It’s also an equally persuasive thriller. Dynamic and moving.’ -- <B>Christos Tsiolkas, author of <I>The In-Between</I></B> ‘Seed is a sublime work of literature that grapples with some of the most pressing moral questions of our time. My attention was taken hostage by this apocalyptic love story – as thrilling as it is philosophically profound. Bri Lee is a writer of rare technical skill and emotional range.’ -- <B>Lech Blaine, author of <I>Australian Gospel</I></B> ‘Seed is an absolute ripper of a novel. A propulsive, nail-bitingly tense thriller that asks urgent, uncompromising questions about love, hubris and how we decide what – and who – is worth saving.’  -- <B>Emily Maguire, author of <I>Rapture</I></B> ‘I raced through Seed with a pounding heart. It took me to an unfamiliar place and dropped me there, poking at my preconceptions while I tried to find a way home. It’s deeply original, intense and thrilling.’  -- <B>Holly Wainwright, author of<I> He Would Never</I></B> ‘Seed is a propulsive thriller that tackles one of the biggest questions of all: must we learn to love if we’re to save ourselves?’ -- <B>Sophie Cunningham, author of <I>This Devastating Fever</I></B> ‘Seed tackles deep philosophical questions and leads us down a treacherous path.’  -- <B>Madeleine Gray, author of <I>Green Dot</I></B> ‘Seed is a compulsively readable novel that is teeming with ideas. The stakes are painfully high in both its human relationships – people collaborating in the most extreme of environments – and in the scientific endeavour depicted. It explores the morally thorny nature of contingency plans, and brilliantly tackles the question of how to invest in a future that we hope for as much as we fear. A layered and riveting novel.’  -- <B>Caoilinn Hughes, author of<I> The Alternatives</I></B> ‘Seed is such an eerie read, full of dread as well as moments that feel like they transcend human experience. I was completely gripped. Tough, uncomfortable, invigorating, this is a writer at the peak of her powers.’  -- <B>Bridie Jabour, author of<I> Trivial Grievances</I></B> ‘Seed is a propulsive, hilarious novel about new beginnings at the end of the world. The climate might be cold but the heart of Lee’s novel is anything but. It’s both a plot-driven romp and a deeply felt meditation on the nature of love and life on earth, and the loves and lives to come. Her best work yet!’  -- <B>Dominic Amerena, author of <I>I Want Everything</I></B>
