Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Dan Smith's thriller is a riff on the Lord of the Flies story of an isolated group of young people devolving into a bloody and murderous chaos, and while it contains few surprises, it is interesting enough to keep you turning the pages.
Alex's mother has recently died and he's travelling the world to forget himself. A bus crash in Sumatra leaves him injured and shaken, and so he easily follows the beautiful Australian girl Domino when she leads him to her hippy, druggy commune deep in the forest. But the accidental death of a young man in the camp finally raises Alex's suspicions (he is a little slow on the uptake) and he soon finds himself fighting for his life. A better class of thriller.
