Review: Her love for Marlin would have to die. Love did not exist where they were taking her.
Rating: 5 out of 5

Post-Apocalyptic prequel where women are endangered species and it feels like the wild, wild West. Author has me feeling for the characters with lines like "A rock dug into her side, but she and pain were fast friends" and "She'd let him keep her, for now at least." Opposite Nessa is her rescuer Marlin "with his morning stubble and venomous scowl...every bit a gunslinger" and ' "Christ," she said, turning to glare at Marlin. "You didn't have to do that." Marlin holstered his gun and shrugged. "Wanted to." ' Given the strength of the dialogue and storyline about the evolutions of science needed to perfect a procedure to produce female zygotes in this godforsaken world, I'm willing to forgive the typos I've come across and gladly add this one to my favorites. Very interesting premise!
