![]() ![]() Hopper wasn’t a very sympathetic character for the bulk of the book. She receives a letter from Thorne (former official) out of the blue that kicks off the chaotic week-long journey. Hopper, the scientist, has spent the last few years living and working on oil rig in the middle of the Atlantic, as far from the UK as she can get while still working for the government. While there she met a former government official and made friends with him, but had a falling out and they haven’t spoken since. She was smart enough to continue to higher education but was jaded enough not to want to be there. ![]() This is the story of a disaffected scientist who was born just before the Stop and has come of age during the chaos that ensued. ![]() The world is now an eat or be eaten world, but not quite as bad as Mad-Max (there is a throw away reference to the desert people being a bit similar), but everything rests on the UK and the government that took over after the Stop. As in it has stopped rotating on its access and is stationary as it revolves around the sun leaving half the world in darkness and the other half in sunlight with the population surviving most in the twilight areas. That, and this was sent by the publisher back in mid-February. However, I thought my dedicated readers (oh hey all 10-or-so of you :-D) might like a change up from all the MM romance novels I’ve been blasting through. I’m not sure I generally would’ve opted to read a post-apocalyptic fiction novel right now (thank you global pandemic). ![]()
