THRUM/Swallowed Special Edition Pre-Order (Australian Listing)

Lavish Library is thrilled to open pre-orders for 

Meg Smitherman's "Thrum" & "Swallowed"

in a Special Edition Omnibus

Thrum:  Ami awakes from years in stasis to find she’s at the edges of deep space, and the only surviving member of her crew. Utterly alone and unable to contact Earth, she sends out a distress beacon, not expecting a response. When she gets one from a being who calls himself Dorian, she’s welcomed onto his ship as he offers his assistance in any way he can. But nothing on Dorian’s ship is as it seems. And as Ami tries to navigate the maze of hallways and first contact with this alien being, a deep hum begins to resonate, haunting her, as if the ship itself is whispering to her.

Swallowed: Earth is broken beyond repair. The Planet is our last hope.

Humanity's first mission to the Planet ended in tragedy, but botanist Jill Jones won’t let that stop her from joining the second. Perfect climate, perfect terrain, perfect flora and fauna; the Planet has called to Jill all of her life. She knows, with bone-deep certainty, it's home. A new beginning for humanity. She just needs a chance to prove it. But as Jill and her team survey the Planet, a mysterious presence begins to infiltrate their thoughts. When her colleagues start to disappear, it's up to Jill to uproot the Planet's secrets before they consume her, her friends, and the one man she would do anything to keep.

This special edition book will feature:

Please note this is a pre-order, so the estimated shipping timeframe is January 2026.

Preorders will close on 5th September
or when we reach capacity.

Please note that we cannot ship to PO Boxes, locked bags or parcel lockers.

Due to factors outside of our control, fixed price shipping will be in place for AUS customers. Unfortunately, this means we will need to limit sales to one book per order. We hope to be able to offer flexible shipping options & combined shipping for multiple items for future pre-order campaigns. We appreciate your understanding as we attempt to manage the changing landscape as a new & small business.

N.B: Images are digital mock-ups and may change slightly in colour and finish in the final printed product.
