I first became interested in South Africa\u2019s genre fiction scene when I started Something Wicked in July 2006.<\/p>\n

To grow interest in the magazine, we launched with a competition. One of the entries we received came from an unknown author named Sarah Lotz<\/a>; her story, \u201cThe Perfect Man<\/a>\u201d, went on to win.<\/p>\n

Over the years I have become both a fan and a friend of Sarah\u2019s, so I expected The Three to be good. What I didn\u2019t anticipate was how dense, epic and yet intimate this book is.<\/p>\n

The Three starts with a simple, yet immediately disturbing premise:<\/p>\n

\n
Black Thursday. The day that will never be forgotten. The day that four passenger planes crash, at almost exactly the same moment, at four different points around the globe.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There are only four survivors. Three are children, who emerge from the wreckage seemingly unhurt – but not unchanged. And the fourth is Pamela May Donald, who lives just long enough to record a voice message on her phone: a message that will change the world.<\/p>\n
