Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space by Adam Higginbotham is an international bestseller that offers a gripping and terrifying account of the Chernobyl tragedy. This story is more complex, more human, and more frightening than the Soviet myth, revealing the experiences of the men and women who lived through it. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews, letters, and unpublished memoirs, the book is a masterful non-fiction novel.

Chernobyl has become a symbol of the nightmarish horrors of radiation poisoning and dangerous technologies that spiral out of control. It is a story that remains contentious, shrouded in secrecy and misinformation. Midnight In Chernobyl offers an indelible portrait of the worst nuclear disaster in history, highlighting human resilience and ingenuity, as well as the lessons learned in times of climate change and other threats.

Higginbotham brings us closer to the truth behind this colossal tragedy. The book has been described as "an invaluable contribution to history" by Serhii Plokhy. It has been awarded and shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize 2020.
