Synopsis

An exciting new voice - Helen Fitzgerald. It's the year 2089 and everything is altered. The revolutions of the early 21st century have created a world divided - between the Privileged few and the Native (Celtic) underclass. Sorlie is enjoying a typical carefree Privileged teenage life until it is smashed apart by the cruel death of his parents and he is spirited away to live with his ice-cold grandfather at a mysterious island penal colony. Sorlie's discovery that the captives are being genetically altered to remove all trace of their Native origins triggers a chain of shocking events that reveal his grandfather's terrible secrets and, ultimately, the truth about himself.

Media Reviews
If you liked Divergent and that one about hunger, you're going to love Ways of The Doomed. Moira McPartlin's prose is rich but unpretentious, her storytelling, thumping. An exciting new voice in YA fiction. - Helen FitzGerald.; Chilling, intelligent, and thought-provoking, this richly imagined vision of the future gripped me from the outset. Beautifully written with fully realised characters, vivid settings, and a clever and playful use of language, Ways of the Doomed makes for a thrilling read. I loved it! My only complaint? I can't wait for book 2. - Christina Banach, author of Minty.; This is a story that quickly grips you as a reader, and then keeps you turning the page right through to a dramatic conclusion that is nicely unpredictable. The pace is urgent, and the characters and setting are very believable. - Undiscovered Scotland; An enjoyable read and proof once again that YA novels can be appreciated by all. I look forward to reading the sequels. - Jackie Law, NeverImitate Blog; Praise for The Incomers: A graceful, searching tale of a stranger in a strange land. Its emotional resonance and narrative sweep fascinate to the end. - Alan Bissett.; Graceful, delicate stuff that masterfully builds as it goes, painting a picture of a time, place and people that is never less than engrossing... - Daily Record;. Raises issues of estrangement vividly and compassionately - Northwords Now.;
