Özet

The invaders came down to Earth in their ships and multi-legged battle armor, and we had no way to stop them from taking the water. Made sense. They looked like massive crabs, after all. The war was over in days. Now, those left behind eke out a parched existence in the scorched rubble, avoiding the hunter-killer teams of crabs as they scour Earth for whatever they deem valuable.

Sixteen-year-old Yasmine Whitten is an expert at navigating the wastes; born into this world, she not only survives; she thrives. But she's got a secret: her mother's old cell phone.

Kept intact for 13 years of alien invasion and kept charged by a tiny solar panel, these two relics of a dead world give her sanity and a host of tools that allow her to stay ahead of the scavengers, both human and crab alike. It's a flashlight and a camera, and when she can't sleep, she can comfort herself in the cold desert by looking at pictures of her mother and father and by reading their old text messages to one another. She's doing well enough, for a teenager on her own in a ravaged world. Until the phone rings.

The Phone is author W.J. Orion's first young-adult science-fiction novel. First in a planned trilogy of Dry Earth titles, it's suitable for teenagers and adults alike.

An interesting take to an end of the world story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It felt very fresh and new. The characters are deep and easy to fall for. The story is gripping and I couldn't stop listening. Good narration helps bring it alive.

Brilliantly written, engaging characters

Enjoyable story and characters but personally struggled with the narrator's delivery. She was overly breathy and dramatic at times. Once I put her on Speed x1.2 that seemed to solve the overly theatrical delivery and allowed me to actually enjoy the story and characters more. Solid addition to YA market and a really interesting twist on Post Apocalypse by having the earth's water taken by an alien species and leaving a dry and blasted wasteland for "Pickers" to scavenge and trade. To be honest the only thing I wasn't a fan of was the actual narrator and once I jumped up her speed a lot of her idiosyncrasies were mitigated. The narrator is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.
