Themes: Brothers and sisters/ Families/ Post apocalyptic world/ Sand diving/ Science fiction
The old world has vanished – buried beneath drifts of
sand and on top of what used to be Colorado, Palmer’s family is falling part. To
earn respect and to make money in this very unusual world you have to be
prepared to sand-dive, to go down into the closed and chocking areas of where life used to be, to find any
remnants that could bring back a semblance of normality. This is not an easy
read, there are so many characters it is sometimes hard to keep track of them
all and there is probably too much swearing. However, for sci-fi fans and for people who loved the Wool trilogy, it will be a treat.
