Backstory (2012) accompanied the conclusion of Graham Hurley’s Faraday and Winter series, offering readers a look behind the curtain at the twelve-book saga. Published the same year as Happy Days, the final novel, Backstory provides context about the characters, the Portsmouth setting, and Hurley’s approach to writing the series over more than a decade.

For dedicated fans of the Faraday and Winter books, Backstory fills in details that the novels themselves left in the background. It works best as a coda to the series rather than a standalone read, giving closure to readers who spent twelve books in Hurley’s version of Portsmouth.
