Summary
A hugely compelling, dark, offbeat adventure from the best-selling author of Rotherweird.
The world has become a dangerous place. Despite the environmentalists' best efforts, the atmosphere has turned toxic, destroying almost all life—plants, animals and most of humanity, too.
Survivors live in domes protected by chitin shields, serving one or other of the two great companies, Lord Vane's Tempestas or Lord Sine's Genrich, with their very different visions for mankind's future. A long period of uneasy collaboration between them is about to end.
Far from these centres of power stands the Museum Dome, where persons unknown have assembled mankind's finest paintings and artefacts and installed a young man, Fogg, as its curator. Here he has laboured for three years without a single visitor and with only AIPT, his automated physical trainer, for company.
Then a single mysterious pill—a momenticon—appears in the museum and triggers a series of bewildering events, embroiling Fogg and his unexpected new companions in a desperate fight against the dark forces which threaten to overwhelm all that remains.
And time is running out.

Bravo Mr Caldecott
Where to start?
Typical of Andrew Caldecott's style and brilliantly so.
Where Rotherweird looks back in time, Momenticom fast forwards us into dystopian fantasy land.
Full of humour, sadness, heroes and wonderfully written characters .
Hooked from the out set, Caught out by the arrival of the ending.
So... we need the sequel.

I was confused for the majority of this book
I struggled to get into this book and didn’t feel the characters were particularly likeable or well developed.
The story line was also very confusing with large parts feeling superfluous.
Personally I am not a fan of any Alice in Wonderland theme so possibly this was why I didn’t enjoy this book.

Engaging story and characters
Have loved all of the authors works to date and this does not disappoint.
Characters are relatable and the premise is fresh and enjoyable.
The whole thing is beautifully brought to life by the narrator, who has demonstrated that suiting the correct voice talent to a novel really does make or break it.
Highly recommended.

Another engaging world from the author
The Momenticon books are as well written as the Rotherworld series. Interesting slants on C.S. Lewis characters. individual character storylines with satisfying and unexpected conclusions

Totally Brillig with a Vermeer of Brilliance
That a book is supervenient on other books is no longer that novel, but the novel use of Lewis Carroll's works, works here. Further, the way that famous paintings underpin this fantasy is nothing short of fantastic. There are the usual stock Caldecott characters, such as plucky heroines and slightly wet heroes, which always appeals, as too, Caldecott's aura of whimsy. I cannot find darkness, though the drama does have such elements, as it feels so very cosy and English, a 'demn fine ripping yarn' as the nights draw in. Frankly, I love it.

what's going on?
Absolutely no idea what's going on in this book.
Is it a dream? Virtual? Magic?
No clue.
How are people popping up in the most unlikely places? How did they get there so fast? How are they communicating in a world without phones or radio? Never explained.
The narrator is very good even if the story makes no sense.

An imaginative adventure story
I really liked this book. The story was engaging and the principal characters were likeable.
I did struggle to stay focused and so missed things and had to go back and listen again several times. My focus is not the fault of the author, but it felt like time and again pivotal moments happened in the course of a sentence. Also when it switched from one POV to another, it would have been good to have a little recap, as it was disorientating.
I enjoyed the description though and all the inventions and was sad when I realised that the story was over. Maybe there will be a sequel? I’d like to know what happens to the characters, but also more about the rest of the world; it seemed like only white people survived the apocalypse except for one black woman, which seems strange considering the diversity of the UK.
Overall though, would recommend!
