Abducted by unknown  assailants. Megan wakes to find herself within a great dome, she's not alone. "They" have abduct seven apparently random individuals,  a clear split of male and female from young adult through middle age. Food? Very little bordering on none. Water?  A mound of ice,  with a diameter 11.3 meters  and a height of 6 meters shedding 17000 gallons of water every day.  littered about, clearly not randomly placed, within the ice are a variety of items, some useful, some historical and many that may be deadly traps. Megan has no idea who she can trust or even who she can rely on except herself.This is an enjoyable, well written, thought provoking  tale of diminishing resources. Character driven with an eclectic cast of characters, responses and feelings. The situational responses have an authentic and realistic feel. This is the third book of Shane Brown's I've read  and I enjoyed them all, in a genre  where stories sometimes  feel  familiar if not similar, these three are different, new and each in different ways, creative and in this case topical. For me a 5 star book is one , aside from being well written,  that I keep to read again. As with the others this one definitely qualifies. Well worth the read.
