A setting in the vein of Mad Max - a subject with echoes of Lord of the Flies - writing quality reminiscent of Skellig The city will fall, and fall soon. And when it happens - well, I've seen it before, and I don't want to see it again. I shouldn't think Joey does either. So I just hope that whatever he's brought us here for, we can be done with it and away again before the soldiers get in.
They don't leave anything standing or anybody living.
Mal doesn't know why they're heading into the city. But Joey has decided they must. And Joey, she knows, has a very special power...
