Canis Alpha

De: W.K. Greyling, Aldus Webb

Narrado por: Brandon J Peterson

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.

The future in sci-fi

This book started out slow but by chapter 3 it actually picked up and became very interesting. As with all sci-fi books there was a lot of people to keep track of what and their roles were. Salix and Bear were the main characters. Salix being rescued from death by Bear only to end up with both of their lives in danger. Lots of action. One kiss. One month. One love. Two lives joined by poem and a magpie.
