'[A] clever and provocative debut ... smart and engaging like Nineteen Eighty-Four crossed with Never Let Me Go.' Daily Mail 'A compelling and disturbing story of love and sacrifice, control and resistance.' Guardian Once the process begins, there can be no going back, we will always be together… Laurie is sixty-five and living with Alzheimer's. Her daughter Amelia can't bear to see her mother's mind fade. Faced with the reality of losing her forever, Amelia signs them up to take part in the world's first experimental merging process for Alzheimer's patients, in which Laurie's ailing mind will be transferred into Amelia's healthy body and their consciousness will be blended as one. Soon Amelia and Laurie join a group of other merge participants: teenage Lucas, who plans to merge with his terminally ill brother Noah; Ben, who will merge with his pregnant fiancée Annie; and Jay, whose merging partner is his unwilling addict daughter Lara. As they prepare to move to The Village, a luxurious rehabilitation centre for those who have merged, they quickly begin to question whether everything is really as it seems.

"Impressive... Walker effectively blends climate dystopia and body horror, especially in the novel's chilling final twist." - Publishers Weekly
"Grace Walker takes a clever speculative premise, and creates a dystopian world that feels frighteningly plausible; filled with compelling characters struggling to come to terms with the new reality. Terrifying and fascinating." - Guy Morpuss, author of Five Minds
"A future classic of the genre...Walker creates an uncanny world so rich and all-encompassing that it's hard to believe it's not real. The Merge lures you in, hurtling towards a conclusion that I could hardly bear to look at - but couldn't pull myself away from. This is propulsive, deeply satisfying novel, weaving slivers of hope with the terrifying setting of a near-future sci-fi. A tender display of the difficult love between mother and daughter, set against a moral and ethical dilemma: is it better to prolong a life unnaturally, or learn to let go?' - Jodie Matthews, author of Meet Me At The Surface
"An arresting, deeply imaginative debut. The Merge is both a gripping speculative drama and a moving meditation on memory, family and control. Grace Walker also asks what we're willing to surrender for those we love and her questions linger long after the final page." - Freya Bromley, author of The Tidal Year
"Chilling, claustrophobic and deeply unsettling, The Merge is a brilliant, unforgettable exploration of memory, control and freedom." - Carole Hailey, author of The Silent Project
"I read The Merge in one frenzied weekend, with sweaty palms, almost as though it were a news article with a shocking headline. The characters are all so real and fully formed, they could be my neighbours and friends. Walker has a frighteningly good imagination, but the most frightening thing of all is that the world she's created doesn't feel all that outlandish... This is a story that will stay with me. Timely, important, and beautifully written." - Silvia Saunders, author of Homesick
"An innovative and absorbing genre book with an exhilarating pace and world-building. This is going to be a longstanding book club for sci-fi fans." - Debutiful
"Disturbingly believable and oddly intriguing...An innovative dystopia that offers a fascinating look at how science, social control, and information manipulation intersect in a totalitarian future." - Library Journal
