Circles in the Dust is a harrowing look at humanity in the wake of a future global conflict that doesn't' necessarily involve atomic weapons and nuclear destruction to destroy the human race. But rather a future that destroys itself with greed and want on every scale, large and small. This story reminded me of a grown up version of Lord of the Flies. Where the strong and "haves" conflict with the weaker "have-nots". I became a little confused on what David was actually trying to accomplish but overall I enjoyed this tale. Maybe a bit more character development with The Mayor and perhaps Al and Mitch would have helped explain their animosity and drive. Recommended for sure, especially for those who like dystopian novels.
