In the not-distant-enough future, a man takes a boat trip up the Susquehanna River with his most trusted friend, intent on reuniting with his son. But the man is pursued by an army, and his own harrowing past; and the familiar American landscape has been savaged by war and climate change until it is nearly unrecognizable. Lost Everything is a stunning novel about family and faith, what we are afraid may come to be, and how to wring hope from hopelessness.
Dan Murrell says:
"Don't waste your money!"
Winner of the best original sci-fi paperback, this post-apocalyptic tale is reminiscent of The Road in its vague rendering of the violent history in a dystopian America. What you can infer, however, is that the apocalypse is a result of global warming – an idea that hits close to home and begs the unsettling question, is this our future?
Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, award-winning authors of such best sellers as Footfall and The Legacy of Heorot, return us to the Mote, and to the universe of Kevin Renner and Horace Bury, of Rod Blaine and Sally Fowler. There, 25 years have passed since humanity quarantined the mysterious aliens known as Moties within the confines of their own solar system. They have spent a quarter century analyzing and agonizing over the deadly threat posed by the only aliens mankind has ever encountered - a race divided into distinct biological forms, each serving a different function: Master, Mediator, Engineer, Warrior.
James says:
"The sequel matches the first book"
Robert Heinlein called The Mote in God's Eye 'possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read.' Recently added to our store, The Gripping Hand is a worthy sequel — and listener favorite L.J. Ganser returns to narrate.
