Publisher's Summary
Winner of 2021 Voice Arts Award, Audiobook Narration — Science Fiction
Narrated by award-winning actor Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast, FX’s Legion) Ever Winter is a vivid and eloquent story of loss, rehabilitation, and revenge set in a post-apocalyptic ice world.
Far from the savage remnants of humanity, Henry and his family have managed to survive the grip of desolate, perpetual winter on a vast tundra that was once an ocean teeming with life. When the family is discovered, their peaceful existence is shattered and their lives changed forever.
Henry’s siblings are kidnapped, leaving him alone in the ruins of their home. Broken, altered, and tormented by all that has befallen him, he is driven to wreak vengeance upon those who assume him dead...by any means necessary.
Fans of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road or Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven will enjoy the raw, emotional pull of debut author Peter Hackshaw’s writing.
What the critics say
"Stevens proves once again that his acting training translates perfectly to audiobook narration." (AudioFile Magazine)
"Peter Hackshaw’s writing is immersive...and I knew while reading it that listeners would feel like they’re entering the post-apocalyptic world with Henry and his family. I’m delighted to join Podium Audio in bringing Ever Winter to life.” (Actor Dan Stevens, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga; Downton Abbey)

Overwhelmingly beautiful and magical narration of an fantastic story.
Dan’s brilliant narration brought to life vividly an imaginary world created by amazing Peter Hackshaw that can be bleak, violent, heartbreaking yet lightened by endearing moments of caring, love between humans, as well as animal and robot - one of the most delightful storylines.
It is such a refreshing take on science fiction writing, full of plot twists and turns. The authors’s imagination of a future world, in a somewhat frightening way, reflects many evils of our current world. All the more poignant. Yet what is eternal through past, present and future is the love we have for our families.
Dan’s superb depiction of each and every character was magical as always. Perfection!

Dan Steven’s brings this book to life
4.5 rounded up to 5.
If I had read this book in hard copy I would have given it 4 stars. But it gets the extra half star just because of Dan Steven’s audiobook narration. Now, we all know I adore his acting, but his audiobooks are my favourite because of how he performs each character and this book is no exception. Of course a good actor needs good characters to perform and this book had that for me.
Dystopian post apocalyptic is not my typical genre (I don’t even know if I’ve labelled it correctly. 😬). But I enjoy the idea of the “what if?” What would the world look like if it completely froze over and only a few survived? I love that a few bits of the arts from the previous era have survived and that’s what is sacred from this time. It made my laugh.
It’s a good adventure. Admittedly it was difficult for me to read on a cold Canadian day. I was cold the entire time 😂 but I think after the first chapter you’ll be drawn in. And if this genre is what you like, I think I found your next book.
