About this listen

In a future plagued with natural disasters, criminals known as “scavs” raid damaged cities. Their most important rule: don’t help the survivors.

Bear, a twenty-nine-year-old engineer, breaks that rule when he takes Salix, a Native American college student, back to his scav team’s flying ship for medical treatment. Captain Baxter allows her to board but will not let her leave.

Salix hopes to escape, but Baxter’s growing obsession with her makes that impossible. As the situation grows tense, a tsunami in Portugal prompts a scav raid. During that raid, Bear discovers blueprints for a device that could change the world. When it becomes clear that Salix’s life is in danger, Bear flees with her, along with the blueprints, but Baxter follows, and he is more dangerous than either of them realize.

Earth has lost control of itself, tsunamis, mudslides, earthquakes are constant occurrences. And there are always people to take advantage of chaos. Some of the airborne flights are not innocent cruises, or business trips. They look that way - but inside they have weapons, explosives, equipment to dig, scoop, hunt, excavate. They swoop down as the tsunami hits, the mudslide settles, the earthquake ends, ignoring the dead and dying to empty their cellars, their locked safes, their shop displays, their treasured and valuable possessions. They fly away, to share their gains, criminals all.
Some by nature or birth. Some through drugs and alcohol. Others from grief or disaster. But once caught up, no way to escape, no inclination, nothing to say You Must.
Except an accident, an injury, a hesitation, a moment's pause.....a miscalculation, a decision, and no way back. Bear and his near death rescue, will they both survive?

The first chapters were a bit confusing as it was different characters but then made sense,
It’s a bit like storm chasing but more like disaster chasing with ships that sail and fly.
Very big characters good and some scary but a little love too.
