About this listen

For Nathan Gallagher, life on post-solar flare Earth just took a turn for the worse.

In the near future, barrier domes shield Earth's wealthiest cities from catastrophic solar flares, but only the healthy elite are granted protection. Those who are unable to prove their ability to work are sent to live in the sanctuaries - camps outside the barrier domes where residents have little to no protection from flares. It’s brutal living there.

Nathan Gallagher is one of the lucky ones who lives inside a barrier. But his luck runs out when his adopted son suffers a paralyzing accident. He’s taken from his parents and sent to the sanctuaries where it’s only a matter of time before they kill him.

With only days until another flare is due to strike Earth’s sanctuary cities, not only does his son’s life hang in the balance but also the fate of a quarter billion people.

This is a great sci fi adventure in a traditional vein. It subtly discusses current social issues in a non confrontational way by making them more extreme and situating them in another environment. The dystopian future plays out with admirable complexity. Our hero fights, evolves and suffers through numerous trials. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.
