The Good News...The good news about Martin and Small's Right Path: Dark Future series is that it is so well written. My first and foremost criteria for an enjoyable read is that the characters have a voice. In this work, both "Ham" a young cripple and Zia, a scrappy girl who has suffered abuse, are on their own in a terrifying new dystopic world where food is scarce and civility non-existent. Then they meet up with an old man who changes everything for them - and maybe the world as they know it. These authors are obviously talented. Giving believable voice to teenagers is no small feat. The `bad' news is that  this is a short-story and ends all too soon.
