I consider myself a science fiction reader, not a dystopian reader but decided to give this series a try. I have never really been a fan of dystopian stories but the author did a very good job of pulling me in. He develops a story that is far more than a “what if” theme. built around a man who is driven by guilt to try to rebuild his connections with his family, The story continues in a world that gets turned upside down. There are plenty of twists and challenges that keep the narrative moving along and holding the listeners attention.
