In the second part of the first book in Justin Cronin's trilogy, the adventures of the main character, Amy, a girl who acquired unusual abilities during military experiments, and her friends continue in a future world where civilization as we know it has been destroyed by the fault of humans themselves, and the living conditions of the remaining remnants of humanity are reminiscent of centuries ago. The development of events in Amy's new habitat leads to the girl and her companions embarking on a long journey through a devastated land where only dangers lurk, but where the traveling party also encounters a few other human communities. It is a matter of course how human their behavior always is...
The book offers plenty of excitement, but also food for thought about human nature. The author's tense, multi-layered, and at times covertly humorous text allows the work to be read both as a sci-fi, entertaining adventure story full of crazy and bloody incidents, and as an allegorical dystopia that warns us of the consequences of our own unbridled greed.
