Book Review - Sky1: Foundation by William Amerman
Sky1 - Foundation by William Amerman
"Nick Burke has been allotted 389 square feet of living space by the government. Disease spreads quickly when people are packed together so tightly. Quarantines are regularly imposed in an effort to contain the spread of infection. Lately, though, rumors are spreading that quarantines on some Grounds are not being lifted.
When a quarantine is imposed on Nick's Ground, he and his family are trapped. The only way out is to break laws that carry a penalty of death. Fearing for his life and the safety of his family, Nick joins forces with a local group to move to another Ground. But can he trust his new friends?"
My Review
This book is set in the moderately near (and believable) future and focuses on the efforts of various characters. Basically, the characters are on different paths, in the same messed up world.
It's tricky in the beginning to figure out who is who and where they all fit, the story jumps around a bit. But, after a while it all fits together and I understood the reasoning for flashbacks about random people. This is a great action packed book that reminds me of various different aspects of Sci-fi. I don't want to give away the ending, but it's a page turner until the end. Obviously this is a part one, and hopefully the author keeps writing.
Find this book!
