Paolo Bacigalupi
Soldier boys emerged from the darkness. Guns gleamed dully. Bullet bandoliers and scars draped their bare chests. Ugly brands scored their faces. She knew why these soldier boys had come. She knew what they sought, and she knew, too, that if they found it, her best friend would surely die.
In a dark future America where violence, terror, and grief touch everyone, young refugees Mahlia and Mouse have managed to leave behind the war-torn lands of the Drowned Cities by escaping into the jungle outskirts. But when they discover a wounded half-man - a bioengineered war beast named Tool - who is being hunted by a vengeful band of soldiers, their fragile existence quickly collapses. One is taken prisoner by merciless soldier boys, and the other is faced with an impossible decision: Risk everything to save a friend, or flee to a place where freedom might finally be possible.
This thrilling companion to Paolo Bacigalupi's highly acclaimed Ship Breaker is a haunting and powerful story of loyalty, survival, and heart-pounding adventure.

Better than Shipbreaker

Too grim and brutal for me

Good read

This YA novel, like its predecessor, crosses the line into preachy at times (though this may be more apparent in the audio format). But this does nothing to dampen the exciting plot. This sequel, too, is much darker than Ship Breaker, but this adds to the book’s overall emotional investment. It’s an enjoyable listen (read) - but its rather cliffhanger ending definitely leaves me anxious for more to the story! I hope that the wait isn’t overly long!
Another Novel in the world of Ship Breaker

How did the narrator detract from the book?
I let a few mispronunciations slip by until the narrator told me that "Melia stared at them duly". No, Melia stared at them dully!! This is not erudite english. Don't these narrators graduate from high school? This is the 4th book in a row where the narrators have mispronounced various words and names of places, companies and famous people. Audible needs to be choosier, pay better, pre-qualify, or whatever it takes to find people who are proficient enough with their language and culture to read a book to us with some expertise! It ruins a listen to have to come out of the story to correct an ignorant reader. Jeez!!Love my books; why are the narrators so lame?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes definitely. Its gripping and troubling and definitely worth the read. This is not a light read as it deals with gruesome topics: child soldiers, war and all its horrors but it is touching and well written.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This is one of those tear jerkers and despite it all, it leaves you with hope.Any additional comments?
Dystopian yes but very adult, well written and the characters are so very real!Terribly realistic!
