From beginning to end, this book just keeps on going. Lots of action. Be it fighting off mutant Devil-Dogs, or human survivors who don’t always play fair. It’s a journey. One of growth, both physical and emotional. At first Dust thinks he is the only human survivor, but when forced to leave his town to find food, he meets up with Sammie and Todd. a sixteen year old female and her younger brother Todd. They form a family and continue on in their quest for food, information, and other people. Unfortunately not everyone or thing they encounter is nice or helpful.

The story is well written, the characters engaging and unique and the world-building exceptional. It was very intense and powerfully emotional. I had to read a light hearted book after reading this. But I will return to this series to read the next book in the series.

I heartily recommend this book,
