We’re so excited about the much anticipated first adult fantasy novel from Eoin Colfer, the New York Times bestselling author of Artemis Fowl, and we’re thrilled to feature him as a Salon Exclusive! Enjoy as Eoin treats us to an exclusive early sneak peek as he reads from Highfire, a joyous genre-bending story that’s part thriller, part action movie and very very funny. In it we meet a vodka-drinking, Netflix-bingeing dragon, who in the days of yore would fly the skies and scorch angry mobs, but now hides from swamp tour boats and rises only with the greatest reluctance from his La-Z-Boy recliner. What will happen when he crosses paths with a troublemaking teen who’s on the run?

Highfire is published by Jo Fletcher Books on 28th January 2020.
