The second in an exceptional series which, although stands on its own, I do urge you to read the first, Idlewild, first; it’s stunning. It’s about a group of people rebuilding civilization after a dreadful plague. It’s brimming with ideas, it’s hugely exciting with very real characters, it’s edgy and fast and quite wonderful. Thriller readers will enjoy it too.
