Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoyed the first two Dayworld books and want to see how Jeff Caird's fractured existence resolves.
  • You're drawn to dystopian fiction where the twist isn't just the oppression but the psychological cost of surviving it.
  • You appreciate Farmer's hard science-fiction approach to world-building, where the premise is worked through to its logical, messy conclusion.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're starting this trilogy fresh: this is book three, and it assumes you've lived with these characters through two previous books.
  • You want a tidy, triumphant ending where the rebellion cleanly wins and society smoothly rebuilds.
  • You prefer character-driven intimate stories over conceptual, ideas-heavy science fiction.

About this book

The conclusion of the Dayworld Trilogy, set on a future Earth where a single world government controls overpopulation by placing each citizen in suspended animation for six days per week. Resources are abundant and peace prevails—or so citizens are told. Rebel daybreaker Jeff Caird and Panthea Snick, a former member of the organic police force, discover that the World Council has been deceiving the population. They work to expose the truth about the corrupt government and incite citizens to resist the powers that restrict their freedom and lives. This final installment reveals the truth about Earth's government in the New Era, the consequences of its collapse, and deeper details about Jeff Caird as he faces the climax of his struggle against the system.
