I must admit I have never heard of this author or any of his other works. I just gave this book a chance... and was heavily rewarded for my open-mindedness. The story is set in the future, where a 75 year old war has ravaged the world. Parts of this world remind me a bit of that of The Gunslinger and the Dark Tower from Stephen King's sci fi/fantasy epic, although the story and writing style are different than that of Mr. King. This is a tale of a boy's coming of age in a harsh world, a tale filled with diverse and likable characters. The dialogue is crisp and doesn't seem forced, the settings and characters are colorful, the plot moves along at a good pace and overall this story is one of the best I have come across since I got my kindle.Highly recommended. And this coming from a reviewer that doesn't often rate ANYTHING as 5 stars.
