The Language of the Birds (2025)
K A Merson
"A high-stakes treasure hunt and an intricate puzzle box of a novel filled with hope, history, and all kinds of heart . . . a delight for readers who enjoy sifting through clues and poring over evidence alongside the hero, racing to see which of you can crack the mystery first."

"One of the most original, compelling, and fun voyages I've ever taken. Weir imbues every page of this rollicking adventure with an unabashed love and respect for science, while giving us a prescient glimpse of where it could take us and how it might save us."
