Summary

In a post-apocalyptic America, Deaver Teague makes a living salvaging things left behind from before the war. When he hears some truck drivers talking about a hidden cache of gold in a Mormon temple in flooded Salt Lake City, he enlists some friends to look for it.

This story is included in Orson Scott Card's collection The Folk of the Fringe.

Anticlimactic

I don't know what I expected. After Ender's game and Alvin Maker and some other excellent stories, I thought I would like pretty much anything by this author. And this is just meh. Not because there are no spaceships or magic, but because there is a secret and the expectation, and some tension.. But it just doesn't grow into anything much, and resolves into nothing.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
