Jay Allan Storey has written a great adventure story set in a dystopian future where we have so badly managed our resources that gas and petroleum products are no longer available. Because of this major cities are burned out and barely inhabitable. Richard, a professor who is extremely fortunate to have a university job teaching gardening takes care of his younger brother, Danny. When Danny and his super smelling dog, Zonk disappear, Richard sets out on a journey through their city, it's suburbs and a criminal underground to try to find him. The mystery is not just where Danny has gone, but also the reason many criminals are looking for him and the dog. The story is very well written with a good pace and an interesting cast of secondary characters. Compared to other books in its genre, it does not have encompass the profound imagination of The Hunger Games, but it is a well told tale that has excellent, albeit secondary female characters. Definitely worth the read!
