NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testamants—this final volume of the internationally celebrated MaddAddam trilogy "has brought the previous two books together in a fitting and joyous conclusion that’s an epic not only of an imagined future but of our own past" (The New York Times Book Review).The Waterless Flood pandemic has wiped out most of the population. Toby is part of a small band of survivors, along with the Children of Crake: the gentle, bioengineered quasi-human species who will inherit this new earth.As Toby explains their origins to the curious Crakers, her tales cohere into a luminous oral history that sets down humanity’s past—and points toward its future. Blending action, humor, romance, and an imagination at once dazzlingly inventive and grounded in a recognizable world, MaddAddam is vintage Atwood—a moving and dramatic conclusion to her epic work of speculative fiction.

"A very satisfying ending to the trilogy. What started out as a very bleak series with Oryx and Crake blossoms into a thrilling and beautiful story of preservation, brotherly love, and hope. "
Reece Ronan
"absolutely loved this series from Margaret Atwood only she could have written this end of the world, one to punch on pandemic and genetic engineering. "

"This is the last of a trilogy. Start with Oryx and Crake"
Sylvia Hall
"I am so glad I continued with this series. I'll admit that I thought Oryx and Crake was a strange novel, but that didn't stop me from immediately picking up Year of the Flood which I liked a lot better. MaddAddam was a fitting conclusion to the story. I can see why some didn't like it - there were quite a few coincidences that seemed implausible, but it didn't matter. I grew to love the characters, especially Toby so I enjoyed every second of this book. I could absolutely over-analyze this series, but I won't go into that here. Best series I have ever read - hands down. Supposedly this will be a tv series (obviously on a pay channel) and I just can't wait to see what they do with it!"
"So good; haunting and well written. True speculative fiction."
Lauren Woodhead
"Was not a huge fan of the trilogy as a whole, because I have such a strong fondness for Oryx and crake as a standalone, but I still loved the universe the rest of the series explored!"
